Old rating from Sep 2002, from the tap at the brewery. Pours cloudy yellow. Aromas & tastes of flora, cereal, grain, bread & hops. Crisp finish. Quite enjoyable

Bomber of Obama ’08 from BevMo, Salinas. Nose of musty grain and hay with a little sweetness and background spiciness. Hazy darker gold with a medium, short-lasting white head. Flavor is light bitterness, grassy hay, and light caramelly sweetness. But shouldn’t this have been an amber or porter as opposed to a pale lager?

Bottle listed as "Maverick’s Alection 08 Winner Obama ’08 Presidential Ale"....Great way to represent a president...with a pale lager...are they try to mock him, or do they seriously think this is a good tribute beer? Upon opening the cap there was hardly any noise of carbonation. The beer poured with no head at all. Aroma of plastic, peanut shells, grass, corn and acetaldehyde. Taste is bitter, grassy with noticeable diacetyl. Just bad, not much else to say. Carbonation is well below normal volumes for a pale lager, but that is fine by me. Thin as hell this beer is an abomination...or, perhaps, an Obamanation? Mr. Beer.. meet Mr. Drain...come to think of it, this tastes as if it was made in a Mr. Beer. Jacob, you know what I am talking about.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a malty grainy aroma with some floral hoppy hints. Sweetish malty grainy flavor with some hints of hops. Has a sweetish malty grainy finish.

Bomber from BevMo. Light orange gold color with a decent white head. Aroma of fruity hop. Near medium body with creamy carbonation. Flavor is pale malt with nicely fruity hop. Could be a tad floral. Finish is mildly bitter. It’s quite pleasant.

Bottle. Bottle called Obama Ale (there’s a McCain Ale that’s the same beer). Pale golden color with a whitish head. Floral and light malt aroma. Floral, light malt flavor with light honey. Medium bodied. Easy drinking. Honey, light malt, light floral and light grass lingers.
