Bottle Poured deep gold with thin fast dissipating white head. Sweet malty aroma. thin body, a little malt, a little hop. Fast leaving finish, a tiny bit of hop. Not unpleasant, but not a real winner either. But hey, it’s no. 500

Pours a golden color. Nice bready sweet malt aroma. Malt heavy lager with a touch of alcohol. Pretty sweet with a moderately clean finish. This didn’t do much for me really.

Bomber from John’s Marketplace in Portland, OR. Coppery color with a minimal white head. Light fruity aroma. Medium body with sharp carbonation. Flavor has a touch of sourt/tart, lightly roasted caramel, and is dry and mildly fruity in the finish. Rather clean, and surprisingly different. They nailed the color and the body, but sweetness is mild. Works for me. There’s a bit of sweet, but it is definitely checked by the tart. Tart, fruity hop?

Slight fruity and spicy nose. Hazy gold amber with medium head. Lemony sweet, some rosemary and burnt honey, slightly tart and bitter, seems a little off-balanced. Light carbonation, slightly heavier bodied, finish is citrusy, with just a hint of biscuit taste. I expected to like this more than I did, not horrible, just does not seem well put together.

Clear amber with little head. Spicy, peppery dry malt aroma. Smooth light/medium body. Mild flavor is dry sourdough malts with spicy peppercorn. A decent beer but not flavorful enough to hold my interest for an entire glass.
