This mythological beer emerges from the depths of our brewery every winter. Made with Cascade, Centennial and Simcoe hops and six organic malts. "A-Bomb" has a complex floral, spicy and citrus hoppiness backed up by just the right amount of malt sweetness. Don't turn your back on the BEAST!

    Awesome strong ale, I wanted more immediately after finishing my glass. Hoppy, Malty Bliss is all I need to say.....but I'll elaborate a bit more. Nutty, caramel malt body that is very clean yet still maintains a nice depth of flavor. Fresh juicy pacific northwest hops add a complimenting floral hop profile. Medium bodied and wonderful to sip or slam. Loved this beer.

    Beer 8 of my 12 Beers of Christmas. Amber brown pour, tight short off white head, spotty lacing. Blood orange and citrus zest aroma, hoppy for certain, some floralness and sweet malts. Taste is citrusy with sweet blood oranges, lemon and lime zest, orange peel, caramel and malts. Nice long bitter linger. This one was more bitter as it warmed. Great label.

    This beer acheives a nice balance between dark malts, lighter malts, and spicy and citrus hops, but was still pretty bland, and therefore ultimately forgettable. Maybe I'm the anomoly...95 on RB.

    Crystal clear copper body with a one inch rocky cap, roapy lacing, long lasting. Peachy hops, bubble gum, lemon, watermelon candy,extremely mild leather.......aromas is good. This aint the malty winter ale I was hoping for but this is still good. Flavour has more maltyness to it but mostly a hop bomb! Fuzzy peach candy, leather, some toasted bread, sweet caramel with a surprising long lasting bitter finish. No spice at all. IS this really a winter ale?????? Good tasting brew with nothing memorable about it.

    On tap at HUB in portland. Smells and tastes to me like a double IPA. Hops are floral and citrus. Even looks like an IIPA! Malts are big too, really full in the mouth exceptionally well made and smooth. A fairly good IIPA. A pretty boring "spiced ale".

    From Firefly; added to BP 24 Nov 2010. Enjoyed in a 22 oz bomber. As in many spiced ales, this arrived with minimal head over a clear, copper body. Not a lot to offer the nose here, maybe a bit of spice and hop, but barely. Flavour had hop and citrus notes, and precious little else. Mouthfeel was average at best. Finish is best described as tart. Second half of the bottle did improve, but not enough to impress me. A so-so beer at a dear price.
