swoopjones (1862), Buffalo, New York, USA Aug 7, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Darryl. Pours a deep amber orange. Caramel malt & Piney hops aroma. Taste was medium hopped, well balanced, a tad too malty perhaps. Tasty & easy drinking michael-pollack (2598), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 3, 2009 22oz. Bottle: Weak aroma of hops, citrus, light grapefruit, slight grass, and a hint of caramel. Poured very deep amber/very deep orange in color with a small, creamy, tan head that diminished but lasted throughout as a rocky film on top of the beer. Very hazy. Sparkling. Good to very good lacing. Flavor is lightly sweet and medium bitter. Tastes of hops, pine, resin, slight lychee, light caramel, slight toasting, slight citrus, and a hint of grapefruit. Medium body. Oily, then dry texture. Average carbonation. Hoppy, resinous, pine, and light caramel malt finish is dry. kenb (1100), Oregon, USA Jul 29, 2009 22 oz bottle via LS. Pours a dark clear copper with an average beige head. Nose is pine resin and alcoholic. Taste is caramel, toffee, biscuits, orange rind and pine. Not bad, but i have a feeling it is not real fresh. Body is medium/full, carbonation is moderate. An easy to drink IIPA pn a recordbreaking 110f Oregon City afternoon! BuckeyeBoy (1635), Boise, Idaho, USA Jul 1, 2009 Bottle Pours out a cloudy amber topped with a tall cream sand head. Aroma was nice lots of floral hops. Tast was nice more of the floral hops a nice malt and a nice mouth full. A little flower tast on the end along with a good bitterness. Reid (1084), Salem, Oregon, USA Jun 30, 2009 22 oz bomber.
Darker amber coloured ale, small light tan head. That goes fast,but leaves nice lace.
Good hoppy aromas waft up,grassy lemony some malt too.
Taste is rather balanced with a great toffeeish malt and lemony hop after wards. Very nice.
Good mouthfeel and palate.
A moderatly drinkable strong pale ale/IPA.
Like to taste fresh though leems (147), Portland, Oregon, USA Jun 26, 2009 22, pours a darker amber than I expected. Very floral and citrus aroma. Flavor was all citrus to me, with some floral and malt sweetness. This is much better than I remember it from other times on tap. NobleSquirrel (1094), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jun 1, 2009 Bomber from BVC. Pours a hazy, yeasty gold. Nose is very floral and fruity, actually didn’t guess it was all C-hops. I get nice citric notes if I look for them. On taste, it is definitely hoppy, though not abrasive at all. A well constructed hop bill will do that. Again, tastes of edible flowers and perhaps tangelo. Quite dry and nice. A tasty and different IPA. goldtwins (4078), Nesconset, New York, USA May 28, 2009 Poured a clear very deep amber color with an off-white head. Nice citrus aroma and flavor with notes of grapefruit. Semi-dry with a bitter finish. Light to medium bodied..
