Can. Eye is clear pale with a thin white head. Fresh nose of typical pale lager. First taste is rather smooth and mellow. A little better than your numerous macro pale lagers in flavor. Rather friendly. Easy going. The middle yields a tad of that processed feel in there. Decent level of co2. No hoppy bitterness in this one. Quaffable, no problems here. I enjoyed this can.

Bomber at share, 2015 vintage. Near black pour with a thin beige head. Aroma is roast malts and toffee with bourbon. Taste doesn't deviate for the nose, offering boozy roasty malts with a light, sweet edge.

Bomber at share, 2015 vintage (Bourbon barrel). Copper colored pour with a ring of fine bubbles. Malty aroma, toffee, woody and plenty of bourbon notes. Taste is malty, leathery, tannic, nutty. Feels like a big heavy beer despite the 9% ABV.

3 week old can A: Pale bright gold with a short greyish white head. Short retention and stringy lace. S: Fresh lemon lime citrus and lightly toasted bread. T: Pretty bitter with lemony citrus pith joined by dry toasty bread. Zesty, spicy citrus ending. M: Crisp, light and stiffly carbonated with clean dry finish. O: Far from complex but very tasty in its simplicity. Quite good.

3 week old can A: Crystal clear brassy gold with minimal but lasting head. S: Faint sweetish aroma with hints of generic citrus and bread. T: Bitter and tart fruity hops are balanced by slightly dry woody malts and lightly sweet bread, ending sweet/tart. M: Medium body, light carbonation and slick finish. O: Doesn't look or smell like much but very good tasting.

Can, around 45 degrees F. Nice clear pale pour. Clean fresh pale beer taste & feel. Initially, goes down easy with a friendly attitude and then in the middle some sharper astringent bitter bite tends to stick its little head up. Yes, once that attribute is present, its a little difficult to ignore. Overall tho, I found this to be somewhat refreshing, it just needs a little more manners if it wants to be like the civilized real old country real pilz. Good attempt raleigh.

Super dark brown coloured body with a fairly thick, three to four centimetre tall off-white and tan head that slowly fades atop the slightly opaque deep brown body, around 75 per cent opaque. Aroma of roasted malt, oatmeal, light grainy notes, a ton of caramelised sugars, lactose and a bunch of bright cherries - odd, but very strong in the nose. Medium-bodied; Rich chocolatey, earthy, nutty, caramel flavours dominate with some of the cherries noticeable, but also some of the metallic twang and graininess with a lot of the bitterness from the roasted malts, coffee and chocolate all showing through towards the end. Aftertaste shows a richness from the chocolate and grain with a bitterness then from the oatmeal and especially the metallic notes with some alcohol coming through and a good deal of pungency, mostly from the malts, but also from the residual sugars and the metallic astringency. Overall, a rich, earthy, nutty and especially coffee and metallic twanged beer with a lot of flavours and richness throughout that work relatively well, but show strongly - which can be a nice thing, especially when the weather turns slightly chilly. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Cary, North Carolina (Crossroads Boulevard) on 30-May-2021 for US$1,79 sampled at my house here in Washington on 16-November-2021.
