Hazy tarnished bronze, rocky whipped meringue head. Dry earthy bitterness on the nose, little orange rind. Dry leafy body, crunchy with a piney finish, slightly astringent. Sweetens up a bit as it warms, and balances out nicely.

bhensonb (8981) - Woodland, California, USA - APR 24, 2013
Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours orange/amber with a creamy white head. Very light malt/hop aromas. Near med body. Flavor is mildly roasty malt with some mixed citrus/fruit hop. Drinks ok, but the flavors lack intensity. It is nicely bitter, but that doesn’t bring it out of the crowd. Still, it is good enough to suggest that imperialization would be amazing.

douglas88 (4460) - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - APR 23, 2013
Bomber. Pours a clear copper color with a large, over carbonated white head. A light nose of perfumy hops. A light flavor of crystal malts, some apricot, marmalade, perfume. Decent.

OMG! Its a pale... thats all I got. Pretty run of the mill. Slight hoppiness balances the pale malt body.

reebtogi (3259) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - FEB 24, 2012
650ml bomber pours a golden color with a 2 finger head that settles to some spotty lacing. Aroma is light toasted malts and citrus hops. Taste is citrus hops balanced nicely with a light malty sweetness. Light to medium body and adequate carbonation. A fairly nice pale ale that was a good tasting experience.

On tap. An easy drinking American Pale Ale. Well balanced with citrus flavors coming thru the most. Crisp and clean finish.

5000 (4967) - Hardened Liver, Washington, USA - NOV 23, 2011
Bottle:   Amber, HUGE rocky off-white head... wondering if infected, very sticky lacing, vigorous carbonation... okay, so maybe just bottled too soon?   Pale hop nose, slight powdered sugar, even a bit of clove/banana?   Pale bitterness up front, decent amount of malt base, very efferfescent and bubbley.   Does have a slight sour tinge to it... infected or just bottled too early.   Didn’t gush, and doesn’t taste "off".   Body and mouthfeel are moderate, very airy however.   Little hoppy like twang on the exit.   Decent, even if a little overcarbonated.

bu11zeye (11111) - Frisco (Dallas), Texas, USA - SEP 12, 2011
(22oz bottle) Pours a lightly hazy orange body with a small white head. Aroma of toasted grain, caramel, florals, Play-Doh, light cocoa, and dough. Flavor of nuts, toasted grain, caramel malt, and grass.

Aubrey (3339) - Bellingham, Washington, USA - MAY 13, 2011
Golden-orange hue. Lively, prickly carbonation seems to contribute some CO2 bitterness. Malt flavors were nice -- bread crust and toast, mostly. Hops had hints of orange peel, lemon and grass. Pleasant and sessionable.

presario (4406) - Stampede City, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 28, 2011
Bottle. TOO much head and it lasts forever like someone sprayed fake snow on the glass and beer. Solid woody hop scent. Decent hop level may be above target. Light woody notes and strong hop spiciness. Citrus aftertaste.
