(22oz bomber thanks to bu11zeye) clearish light orange with soapy fine off-white bubbles. Nose of candi sugar, orange. Taste of pine, orange, grapefruit, moderate to light residual sweetness. Very bitter linger and a creamy body.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Appearance: Pours a cloudy, deep copper-toned body with a sporadic, skittish, white head.
Smell: Simplistic, one-dimensional malt base, just a hint of pale malts, really, with some floral, resinous, lemony hop scents on top.
Taste: Lightly sweetish pale malts with a low, dull breadiness to it. Dash of stale lemon peel, vague notion of spice, and a hint of birch tree bark peel. Medium bitterness. Some inclusion of dry maltiness on the bitterish finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation.
Overall: Personally, I found it to be a bit bland in the flavor department.
2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
A: The pour is sort of orange in color with a soapy white head.
S: Sort of a soapy aroma with toasted bread and sweet toffee and caramel malts. A bit of citrus and pine hop character with just a very mild herbal note to it.
T: Sweet malt all the way with quite a bit of bread, toast, and toffee. There is a fairly minimal hop flavor. Herbs and citrus peel with a little bit more soap and perhaps even some pine sol.
M: Medium bodied with medium carbonation.
O: Soap and floor cleaner are not preferable flavors in any beer.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Doughy caramel malts on the nose followed by floral and citrus hops. Nice and toasty here and there as well. Orange amber, hazy, nice creamy head and good lace. The flavor starts with doughy caramel malts, light sweetness, mostly just toasty followed by a nice blast of floral and citrus hops. Nice and balanced, smooth body, good ipa.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bomber. Pours a hazy burnt orange and gold color with a half-inch of dense off-white head. The aroma is a pure Pacific Northwest IPA blend of floral hops, pine, grapefruit and caramel malt. The flavor hits on all those notes in addition to some candied citrus and toasted malt characteristics. The body has medium-level carbonation and finishes aggressively bitter with more citrus. Another quality Oregon IPA that could use just a tad more malt to balance out the hops bitterness.

Bottle from PC Market of Choice, Ashland. Pours copper with a modest beige head and a toffee aroma. There is a hearty caramel malt flavor, slightly sweet, with a subtle bitter finish. Well-balanced and tasty.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Orange-amber, light head. Heavy, pungent nose of co-humulone, pine, grapefruit sprints, and slight appearance of skunk amidst a humid summer dusk. Juicy, green hop flavor with touches of cannabis. A very musky, heavy, green, co-humulon-forward IPA.
