3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Hazy golden, large frothy white head, nice lacing. Stale hop aroma. Could I
have an old bottle? Weaken hop flavors on the tongue, a little dank and basement like. Yeah, can
only guess I sat on this too long. A little bit of tea leaf action going on as well. Decent body and
mouthfeel. Clean, but seems a little stale. Could use a re-rate on my next trip to Oregon.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
22oz bottle. Poured a cloudy amber color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of floral hops with grains. Tastes of the same with a toastiness. Thinner.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Purchased and received 22-oz bomber from Liquid Solutions. Pours a semi-clear amber colored brew with a heavy off-white head that slowly dissipates and leaves behind some nice lacing. Aroma of typical pale ale citrus and piney hops, a hint of tart apple, and caramel malt. Taste is medium bodied, flavors of caramel malt, grapefruit and some dark pitted fruit. Finish is citrusy bitter at first and then slowly disappears. A solid American pale ale.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Light hop aroma, could be more. Little to no head. Inauspicious beginning continues with the flavor as it isn’t overly exciting or distinctive. Still it’s pretty good. Just not great in any means.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
~Pours a clear goldish amber color with small creamy head.
~Light berry citrus scent with a bit of funkiness (but isnt bad).
~Citrus hop flavor with some berry notes and backbone of malts.
~Medium feel, bitter citrus finish.
~Decent pale ale, a bit acidic for me and upsets my stomache.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a 22 oz bottle this pale ale poured an attractive clear amber color with a robust white head and good lacing rings. Nose of floral and citrus hops. Very smooth and clean mouthfeel. The flavor is malty with light floral hops, and the finish is lightly bitter. Overall well balanced and quite drinkable showing you not need to do anything complicated to make a good APA.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bomber. Nice amber color with frothy white head that was substantial. Aromas of fruity/floral hop and light caramel. Medium body with frothy carbonation. Flavor is mild citrus/grapefruit backed adequately by caramel. The finish is nicely bitter - going a bit floral. Just a tad too harsh to be an ESB, so APA is about right. Pretty good stuff.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Clear copper with a one inch white head a fair lacings. Aroma is fruity floral hops. Taste is bitter sweet with lots of leather. Some white grapefruit on the back of the tongue. Mouthfeel is good as is the carbonation. Overall a pale with none of the fruity sweet bitterness I like. If you prefer white grapefruit to ruby red give this a try. At 5.0% abv. it would be a good session pale.
