Draft. Small off-white head, clear amber body. Aroma is moderately sweet, bread, honey, some caramel. Taste is moderately sweet, bread, honey, some earthy. Medium-full body, some stickiness.

Bomber from Malt & Vine. Pours amber with a nice white head. Aroma seems grassy and herby over smooth caramel. Medium body at least. Rather creamy carbonation. Flavor is bitter, and almost buttery caramel. This is a lager that could almost be an ale. Complex in a light way, and very pleasant. Sort of a fruity/grassy bitterness in the finish.

Clear golden amber pour with a dense, thick white head that lasts quite a while. Sweet bready aroma, something a bit floral about it. Has a bordering on cloying honey sweetness to the flavor, with orange and floral notes, lightly bitter finish. Very creamy feeling. Nothing overtly wrong with this to me, but I found it a little hard to take. Maybe I’m not a huge fan of the style.

Pours crystal clear light caramel with nice big white head. Lasted through the whole beer. Aroma of slightly sweet and tart. Flavor is sweet malt and that little something maibock’s have that I just can’t describe. This one is not cloying and is really probably the best of the style I have had. Really enjoyed it.

On tap at Elysian Fields location. Pours honey gold with minimal white head and clings. Sweet, caramel, faint floral aroma. Very sweet taste with some peppery and spicy hops.

draft @ brewpub. Clear amber. Lasting white head. Aroma is solidly malty. Caramel, cookies, muffins. Even some pineapple. Yet still not too sweet. Palate is silky, a little too slick but not buttery. Has a good balance of citrus flavors (esp orange). Is far more complex than it lets on. Good stuff.
