Made with Cascade, Centennial and Chinook hops and six organic malts. \u201cA-Bomb\u201d has a complex floral, spicy and citrus hoppiness backed up by just the right amount of malt sweetness.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I love this beer for how delicious it is, but also the beautiful artwork displayed on their new 16oz cans and 22oz bombers. Created by local Portland artist Martin Ontiveros<\/a>, the Abominable Yeti is a figure many Oregonians have come to look forward to.<\/p>\n About the Beaver State Beer:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/strong>Since I have been of legal age I\u2019ve loved everything about craft beer and the community surrounding it in Oregon.

\nWhy I selected the Abominable Winter Ale:
\n<\/strong><\/strong>A-Bomb, as many now call it, has quickly become an Oregon favorite as the days become shorter and the air gets cold. Typically described as a hoppy winter ale, Hopworks perfectly marries the west coast pale ale and winter ale styles together.<\/p>\n![\"Beaver](\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/advent12\/beaver-state-beer-logo.png\"){kind=logo}
