On tap at the brewery. Poured a clear golden-amber color with a thin white head that faded to a layer. Rather simplistic aroma with some earthy, grassy hops and a bit of toasted grain. Smooth, crisp entry with some soft sweetness leads into a light hint of caramel and some moderate toasted grain that finishes moderately dry with some earthy hops. Moderate carbonation and a crisp, biting mouth feel. Overall, a rather simple and uninspiring brew. Decent, but there isn’t much to it.

Bomber picked up at the brewery this past weekend - a little late in the year to be releasing an O-fest, but I guess that’s why they call it a "harvest" lager - anyway, I’m usually a fan of lagers from this brewery, and this is no exception - malty, caramel and toasted grain aroma - a nice, clean malty sweetness, with some crisp hops on the tail end to balance it out - some biscuity, gingerbread-like character, and even a touch of warming spice in there to mix things up - very clean and malt-forward, but fairly balanced, and very quaffable - not one of their best lagers, but still good.
