COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This bold amber is hoppy and unfiltered in the classic Pacific Northwest Style. We combine premium 2-Row, Aromatic, Melanoidin, and Crystal malts to form a pleasant malty base, then add enough Crystal and Mt. Hood hops to create a balanced beer with a citrusy hop finish. This beer is easy to enjoy by itself, and pairs well with most foods.

Amber in color, clear with a thin head. Nice beer with tons of malt forward flavors. I was hoping for more balance with the hops. Not bad needs more Hops.

Pours a slightly cloudy amber color. Faint aroma of malt with just the ever slightest hint of hops. Taste sits right in the middle between hops and malt. Decent beer.

Ratman197 (7762) - Arvada, Colorado, USA - JUN 1, 2013
Bomber poured a clear amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of bread, carmel, light fruittiness and a hint of earthiness. Palate was medium bodied and smooth. Flavors of bread, carmel and light fruittiness with a smooth lingering carmel finish.

Pours a dark ruby red with a small white ring. Aroma is caramel malts, sweet candy and earthy hop. Taste is fairly bland, caramel malts, sweetness and a very small hop presence. Would like more hops.

drpimento (1936) - La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 9, 2012
Poured (probably too) cold right out of the fridge with a thick, gold tinged cream head that quickly subsided and no lace. Color is a clear honey amber with some tiny bubble trails. Aroma is hop at first then a nice heavy caramel with a little toffee, malt. Flavor’s like nose, fairly dry, heavy carbonic tang, not a lot going on. Body’s a tad thin while carbonation is a bit overbearing. Finish is like flavor, short, and totally forgettable. Wish I could’ve let this warm a bit first.

It’s a good beer, presentation not the best but pretty good taste. Tried better ones.

Bottled. Pours an attractive red brown with substantial head. Starts strong on the hops and finishes heavy on the malts. 1-2 punch.

22oz bomber from LetsPour poured into a shaker. Pours a clear amber with about a finger of off-white head. Malty aroma. Caramel and bread with just a little citrus fruit. Taste is light bitter. Chocolate and caramel with citrus. Kinda reminds me of orange flavored chocolate. Medium bodied with a thick texture. Lively carbonation and a long finish. Overall, awesome. I’d really like to try more by these guys.
