I just got this from Saarlander (thanks!) and after doing some yard work in mid 90 degree weather I thought no better time than now for this one. Pours a golden color with a fluffy white head. A thin layer of foam sticks around until the end. The aroma is pretty nice showing typical qualities in a decent lager; grain, corn, sweet bread, grass, and biscuit. This is very clean and refreshing going down. Sweet bready and grainy flavor with just enough crisp and dry grassy hops for balance. A little welcomed citrus sneaks in there too. This is solid stuff. Sure, it’s fairly limited but it’s clean an excellent choice for those hot summer days, and living in Florida I’ve learned to appreciate those brews. Thanks Aaron!

A: The pour on this beer is a light amber color with a tall white head. S: Popcorn is the first thing that comes to mind when I smell this beer. Decent malt and bread notes with a fair bit of grass. There’s a little bit of a yeast smell and what seems to be some rice. T: The flavor is strange. A somewhat harsh bitterness, which comes out of nowhere. There is lots of popcorn on the palate as well. Still some grassy hops and light bread flavor. Like with the nose, a touch of yeast. M: Light in body with a moderate carbonation. O: Not surprisingly, a weak offering from Dale Brothers. This was just not a pleasant drinking experience.

(22oz bottle) Pours a clear yellow body with a medium white head. Aroma of citrus, toasted grain, and light honey. Flavor of citrus, earth, herbs, grass, light bread, and toasted grain.

From a bottle. Poured a light yellow with a very light head. Low to moderate lacing. The aroma is mild and slightly floral. Light, sweet taste is pleasant and refreshing, but not outstanding ... or even great. Palate is a bit thin. Still, even though I haven’t given this beer a truly high rating ... I at the same time would not hesitate to drink it again. Just not my style of beer, I guess.

On tap at the Taps Brewfest. Straw yellow pour with a small white head. Aroma and flavor is sweet and biscuity. Drinkable

From a 22oz bottle,pale in color,no head,a little flat,taste like any other lager i’ve had.Very crisp

Bottle. Poured a clear, dull gold color with a medium sized white head. Aroma of corn, sweet malt and grain. Light vanilla and earthy elements. For the style it was pretty decent. Buttery, sweet malt, some breadiness with a bit of earthy bitterness in the finish.

22oz bottle from Tracy on a visit to Hangar 24. Rating #7. Medium/light yellow pour. Very crisp aroma, light hops. Flavor was very clean and crisp, more light hoppiness, very nice and very sessionable. 񡹱)

Bomber. Another lager with skunky aroma on the nose. Gold body with white head. Sweet corn malt flavor with a medium bittering. Just another lager. Would probly be a good paring if you were eating a pizza.

Bomber. Hand marked #731 on the cap under the plastic. Thanks to Saarlander! Clear light gold with a decent white head. Nice lace. Mild grain nose, light floral hop. Not bad - a mild, fairly tasty, inoffensive lager.
