Bomber. I’m a little sick of odd colored beer, and this is no exception. Imagine my surprise (unsuspecting victim that I am) when the pour was a candy apple red with a massive pick fizzy/foamy head. (I’m having flashbacks to Romulan Ale and Magic Hat Wacko, which are two of my most hated experiences in the last year.) Still, I’ll give this one a shot. Aromas are fairly weak... a bit of dough, light brown sugar and some apple or fruit of some sort... it’s hard, though, when your eyes are assaulted at every turn. Flavor is pretty non-eventful. A bit of an oktoberfest boozy graininess to it, some caramel and a funkiness that might be the dye or whatever. A tingly alcohol presence throughout.

Bottled. Orangeish golden colour, small slightly off-white head. Aroma is hops, grains, some mild spicy and herbal notes. Flavour is quite strong fruity and grassy hops along with some mild grainy and earthy notes. Semi-dry palate.

On tap at the Bocktown, really nice place. Creamy white head with a fairly fruity smell. Pale yellow like a ubiquitous american lager. Somewhat bitter lager sensations. Really has some ropey or leather sensation in there. Much lager personality. Stronger than many lagers. Medium bitter medicinal finish.

Draft. Small, frothy, white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Pale amber body. Hops dominate the flavor of this lager, yet the aroma is very light.. Hints of toasted grain and herbs. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. The finish is lightly sweet and moderately to heavily bitter. The lingering bitterness does not totally cover up some malty huskiness, but the texture is mostly lager-like — medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Very nice bitterness, but not much else for everything that’s in this beer.
