Pours a slightly hazy light golden color with a huge bubbly white head that displays moderate retention and lace. Smells of light grains with a hint of honey sweetness, floral earthy hops with a touch of buttery soap? The flavor is sweet and malty with hints of butterscotch and a really unbalanced earthy spicy citric hop bite. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet almost tart mouthfeel. I wanted to like this but I just didn’t. A sweet unattenuated brew with a hop bill that doesn’t mesh at all with the beer style.

Found this on sale for 1.99 a bomber - the store had a ton of it to get rid of - went in knowing it may be slightly past its prime - pours a lightly hazy gold, with a fluffy, well-sustained head - the aroma is of lightly honeyed maltiness, moderate mineral, light breadiness, lightly floral hops - doesn’t smell off or old - flavor is fairly sweet, almost syrupy up front - the middle brings moderate floral and bitter hops and light mineral - the finish brings obvious alcohol and a lingering syrupy sweetness - too sweet, with too much apparent alcohol, and not at all as clean as it needs to be - meh.

bottle - Pours lightly hazy yellow gold and bubbly with a two finger white head that laces well. It has a mild bready malt aroma. There’s some good crisp hops in the flavor along with a hint of citrus and a sweet, grainy, bready malt backbone. Quite decent for what it is.

Bomber from Made in Oregon. Pours dark gold with a transient white head. Aroma is mildly bready with a hint of citrus. Med body. Flavor is surprisingly bland. Mildly bready malt, leaving it a bit sweet, and just barely enough hop to indicate some bitter. Yet the whole seems to exceed the sum of the parts, flavorwise. It’s worth drinking if you’ve got it.

Pours pale yellow into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes to coat surface. Cracked corn aromas. Soft with sweet hay front to back with a lasting cereal finish.

One of my favorite styles, and for an American attempt, it isn’t bad. Decent lager yeast and malt flavor. Dry. Some hops, but it lacks the strong saaz quality of the best Bohemian pilsners. Still, not bad overall.

Dish soap and canned vegetables odor. Crystal clear amber, medium head, little retention. Cane sugar sweetness, light malt, bitter grass and parsley. A light aftertaste of beans.Well hopped, but otherwise, it isn’t very good.

Pour is a clear yellow with a large white head. Aroma is a decent amount of malt with seom sweey hops. Flaovr is a little blander. It’s a very dry grain with some grassyness. Very light in body with a thin mouthfeel. Started out good but kinds winds down to a boring lager.

Bottle. Poured cloudy yellow with thick lasting white head. Nice lacing. Pleasant meadow grass aroma. Light to medium body, flavour has an unpleasant oiliness. Restrained finish
