Bottle shared by BeerandBlues2. Poured a mostly clear golden color with a medium sized white head. Aroma is malts, some skunky notes - grains are there. Rye spice character, sweet malts. Plenty of grass in this one. Light but not as refreshing as I had hoped.

Hay nose. Crystal clear golden, medium head. Pronounced rye flavor, hay, very lager-like, no fruity or extraneous flavors or aromas. Intensely beery, sufficiently bitter and dry, but not terribly hoppy. Archetypal rye lager. If this were more readily available, it would be my go-to session beer.

Bomber courtesy of the brewer. Pours a clear vibrant golden color with a large frothy off-white head. Good head retention. Spicy rye aroma with grainy malts and a bit of toasted caramel. The taste is spicy rye, herbal hops, stone fruits and pale malts. Medium bodied, pretty refreshing.
