Reviewed from notes.
The appearance has a hazy golden colored body with a one finger white foamy head, some carbonation is seen rising, some light lacing is left.
The smell is sweet, somewhat grainy, light hops, some light fruit coming through as it warms.
The taste is sweet and grainy through previously mentioned flavors.
The palate sits about a light to medium, sessionable, weird grainy aftertaste and finish.
Overall, well, though I’m not much of a fan of the style, still good for it, but for me, unsure if I’d come back to.

22 ounce bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Loud crack upon opening, probably infected. Pours lightly hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that last. Dense soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a ton of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of lightly tart lemon zest, green apple, pear, cracker, bread, light honey, hay, straw, grass, herbal, light pepper, funk, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with balanced malt and fruity yeast ester notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon zest, green apple, pear, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, straw, floral, grass, pepper, light funk, and yeast earthiness. Minimal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of green apple, pear, cracker, bread, light honey, herbal, straw, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice balance and robustness of malt and fruity yeast flavors; with zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly prickly mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with no warming present after the finish. Overall, despite obvious infection, this was a nicely enjoyable brew. Obviously not to style, but was tasty for what was there. Very smooth and crisp to drink as well.

Bomber: Cloudy, light amber-brown with a short, off-white head. Aroma is faint....malt, light grain. Taste is strongly metallic....grains..a hint of rye.... Dry, herbal bittering...grass.. Ok, but the metal notes just get more pronounced as it goes.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 1/3/13
Aroma: The nose has some citrus, German-style hops, yeast, spice, grains, and bread
Appearance: Pours a mostly clear orange color with a bubbly white head and some scattered lace
Flavor: Tastes grainy, light-mid sweet with some spice, some citrus, and a mildly bitter finish
Palate: The body is light-medium, it drinks nicely/easily, with average carbonation, and a light dry finish
Overall Impression: This is a very solid lager as far as I'm concerned. It's a nice, sessionable (or close enough for government work) beer. There's nothing super standout here, but nothing about it really disappoints either. Very solid.

Pours clear gold into a shaker. White head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Cookie and grain aromas. Medium balanced with sweet caramel upfront turning to mild bitter earth in the lasting finish.

Bottle shared by argo0. Thanks! Beer poured a hazy golden yellow color with a small white head. Aroma is a standard lager - some grain, grass, yeast characters. Drinks pretty clean - was okay.
