Pure Milwaukee Genius Series 1: Made with three styles of fresh American hops and fruity ale yeast that requires greater fermentation, it finishes with a dark amber appearance, spicy hop flavor and bold, malty backbone. The punch this potent brew packs reminds us all that when you want to make a point, you’re better off making a statement.

(Bottle, Stockholm Beer Festival, 26 Sep 2009) Cloudy reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with caramel, rubber and earthy hops. Malty taste with notes of dried fruit, caramel and generous doses of earthy hops in the finish. Slightly above medium body, balanced sweetness. Nice and tasty with a warming puff of alcohol in the finish. Nice one.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Cloudy brownish amber, small head. Caramelly nose with grapefruit atop. Mid-sweet, medium-full bodied, clean rounded mouthfeel. Floral canteloupe hops. Dryish finish with growing piny bitterness. Aromatic and pleasant.

22oz bottle. Toffee thick orange-brown color. Big, foamy head. Astringent seawater hop aroma, thick. Relatively mellow carbonation-wise, almost like a nitro IIPA. The thick malt really shines through, making it a pretty balanced product. Not really bitter at all, has an almost vegetable finish. A touch watery and thin, but unique and enjoyable.

Bomber from Bottle Trek. Dark copper color with a multifinger beige/tan head. Aromas of piney hop and darkish caramel. Medium plus body with creamy, frothy carbonation. Flavor is caramel with resin. Flavors are strong. Very well balanced. Finishes dryish. Very good drink.

Hazy dark brown with a tall, choppy tan head. Malty aroma is full of fruit, some raisins, with just a touch of citrus from the hops. Sweet fruity flavor delivered with a full body.

Big aroma with hops. The flavor is simple, medium sweet malt and more medium bitter hops. Some citrus fruit. Thick palate for the style. One of Lakefront’s better products.

Slightly hazy copper body, thin, clumping buff head. Toasty nose with burnt caramel notes, dusty, citrusy, and somewhat tart. Hoppy body with spicy, floral hops giving the beer a potpourri character, backed by toasty, dryish malts. Bitter, piney finish. Quite herbal and tannic.

The folks at Lakefront have really outdone themselves with this one. Pours amber with a light white head, hoppy with spices and maybe some vanilla. Caramel malt aroma giving a sweet sugary mouthfeel. Well balanced with the hop and yeast.
