3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bomber from Belmont Station. Pours golden amber with a creamy near-white head. Aroma seems resin and floral. Med body. Foamy carb. Flavor is bitter over mild roast caramel. However, it has a certain harshness, and seems to be fairly hoppy. Citrus? Resin? Floral? All of the foregoing? There is a very faint buttery character - it doesn’t seem to be diacetyl though. Good solid beer, but it lacks flavor extremes.

Tap at Buffalo Wild Wings PDX: This was a pretty basic IPA. I expected with such a dynamic name, the beer would have matched it. But alas, it did not. Hops were present, but nothing distinctly NW IPA about it. Classic example of trying to be really well balanced to make it drinkable by virtually anyone.

Brilliant amber color/ lasting ivory sheen. Skanky, grassy, spicy hop, grainy malt aromas. Medium bodied. Grainy caramel malt base flavor with some very mild spicy hoppage-- weak

Bomber. I have tried this beer twice, two months apart and from different locations. Both times the beer has tasted like it had gone bad. I have freinds that say it is a decent IPA but my experience is of a very metalic smell and taste. I will not try this beer again.

(22oz bomber thanks to bu11zeye) clear medium yellow with fine soapy white bubbles. Nose of grape, citrus, funky, and candi sugar. Taste of lactose, cream, medium bitterness, pine and citrus oils. Dry finish with a medium bitter linger. Some earthiness to the palate finish as well.

22oz bottle - poured a clear light honey color with a smallish head. Aroma similar to GD Titan and somewhat earthy flavored and almost sweet. Nice bottle art!
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Draft at celtic bayou. Pours a cloudy medium gold with a loose white head and tons of lace. Sweet buttery nose...seriously, its almost like butter cream. Creamy slick medium body with lively carb. Butter and burning resin on the mid palate. Acrid finish. This cant be what they planned for this beer to taste like.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle with Carla. Pours a deep gold with off-white foam. Smells very piney. Tastes very bitter with a nice hop finish that allows some more pine and pepper to come through.
