Some maltiness with a little coppery rust. Pours coppery as well with good head and lacing. Easy drinking. Tap at Right Proper.

Banana, apricot, lemon zest aroma. Cloudy amber, thin head. Dry apricot, orange, lemongrass. Mouthfeel is a tad harsh. Belgian yeast? Tasty, but seems more Belgian than German.

Thanks Sierra for the bottle.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a glossy orange color with a thin white mushroom cap of a head. Once the head died down, there’s a light soapy lacing clinging and then sliding into the beer.
The smell had a fair amount of citrus hops with a decent balance of caramel malts.
The taste was pretty messed the same.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium with a slight sessionability about it. The carbonation seemed alright for the style and for me.
Overall, a mostly average pale ale. I’d probably only have again if offered.

Bomber from Whole Foods Vienna, VA. Pours a hazy orange color with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Good head retention. Aroma of pine, citrus and tropical hops. The taste is caramel malt, apples, citrus and pine hops. Medium bodied, moderate lingering bitterness, decent balance.

S&B. Draft. Hazy orange amber color, medium white head. Aroma is fresh mango, grapefruit, pineapple. Taste is sweet tropical fruit. Not overly bitter, but warmingly boozy. Very tasty, but I wish this had a more reasonable alcohol level.

Poured from a 32oz growler from Springfield Whole Foods. Poured a mostly clear, slightly hazy color with a medium white head. Aroma was light corn notes, light malts. Flavor was crisp malts, some light sweet corn flake notes. Light citrus finish. Rich and creamy. This was pretty enjoyable for a pale lager.

22oz bottle. Poured a clear amber color without much of a head - small wispy mostly. Very still, but still plenty of creamy carbonation. Aroma was light sweet malts. Flavor was light nutty sweet malts. Smooth and pretty tasty, though it was expensive for what it was. Something about it is pretty enjoyable - normally a boring style, this was refreshing and different enough - maybe the "prehistoric" yeast strain? I guess if I get stuck in the past when I time travel, I’ll be able to brew something up without a problem.

Not bad for what it is. Don’t taste a lot of saaz, the darker roast aroma of the schwarzbier end kind of drown it out. Pours murky brown with ok head and lacing. Tap at Right Proper.

Hazy pale golden coloured body with a thin, slightly soapy two centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of pale malt, a touch of cardboard and the smallest hit of sour grapes, but a relatively mild aroma throughout. Light-bodied; Strong pale malt flavour with a light citrus flavour and a hint of coriander seed freshness to couple with the light grass and hay at the end. Aftertaste shows a very mild and refreshing kolsch with some light grassy and herbal overtones and a good airy sour finish at the end. Overall, a nice beer to sample on draught and great for the summer here in Washington! I sampled this pint on draught at Whole Foods in Falls Church (Tyson’s Corner), Virginia on 27-May-2014 for US$3.00 a pint.
