3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Medium amber color with a pleasant graininess in the aroma. Clean flavor with a prominent, enjoyable graininess, mild fruitiness and on the sweet side. Crisp and easy drinking. My favorite Baron brew by far.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Golden colour. The aroma is clean and malty, moderately assertive. Slight fruity notes, hints of bready malt in the fairly assertive palate. Alcohol starts to wash over at the end, rounding out the flavour a bit. Pretty good rendition of a style that, when done well, is starting to appeal to me more and more.

22. Pours crystal clear, deeply burnished coppery medium amber. Sourish nose--a wheat sour, or maybe an odd yeast choice or something. Caramel and biscuit there as well. Lightish body, got that clean and easy lager thing happenin’. Caramel, biscuit, toast, a little sharp peppery hop at the end, but not much. Long dry tea-ish finish. Just alright.

draft @ brewery - clear, light amber; aromas of wheat and grain; drinks slightly sweet, but a tang to it that was not quite to my liking; mild fruit and malt flavors; light bodied and watery texture; kind of blah

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?
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber, no head. Aroma is light caramel, malt, alcoholic sweetness. Taste is caramel, light malt, light alcohol noticable. It’s alright.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle: Translucent copper, moderate frothy off-white head, spotty lacing, light carbonation. Malty nose, semi-sweet, slight wet straw. Grassy start, minor sweetness, finishing with the aformentioned straw/hay. Moderate body and mouthfeel. Finishes with a very slight grassy astringency. Other than that its a very sessionable lager. Darker than I would have thought. Enjoyable regardless.
