COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
From the first day of the first mash of the first recipe in the first brewhouse in the first space to this oasis 13 years on the road; We have worked hard to walk in the footsteps of our hero brewers- The Noble Brewer of the planet’s only legal Steam Beer, and Oregon’s Rebel Brewer from Newport. Thirteen years down the road, we have found our own voice as brewers but our admiration for the Great Ones has not dimmed one bit. If we walked well down the hero’s path ourselves, perhaps we too have been an inspiration for others. Beer is a Bronze Age business and we feel honored to have left our footprints on it’s path into history, at the same time leaving our flavors on your buds. Thanks for your trust over the years and we hope you enjoy this specialty breweed Hi-Gravity Auburn offering.

bhensonb (9002) - Woodland, California, USA - MAY 13, 2012
Bomber from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours light copper/amber with a creamy/fizzy white head. There seems to be a lot of resin in the nose. Nearly full bodied with strong, but soft, carb. Flavor is resin over roast malt, there’s a barley wine similarity (heavily hopped barleywine), and there’s also something extra in terms of veg/herb hop. Tarragon? Or maybe it’s light pitted fruits. Whatever, it is unidentifiable by me, but it certainly enhances the beer. I’m rashly guessing that the alt refers to alternative rather than style. For some years I’ve missed the little alt on 13 labels. Glad to have finally noticed!!!!!!!& Finishes quite bitter. Very nice.
