Bottle:   Color of straw, light haze, fairly large frothy white head, nice lacing.   Looks good.   Mealy nose, quite heavy on the straw, subtle grassiness.   Rather grassy on the tongue, heavy for a pilsner, meaty, slighty mealy.   Clean, but not all that crisp.   Quite grassy on the backside, with some hay/straw.   Yeah, this certainly is a heavier/meatier Pilsner as compared to most.   Certainly not bad, but more of a meal than a thirst quencher.   Needless to say, body and mouthfeel on this one is fairly heavy.   Lingering grassiness with some straw/hay.   Clean, but heavy for a Pilsner.   Glad to be able to have tried this rarity!   Thanks Bob!

Courtesy of Skyview. Light golden color with a large, rocky head. Dusty grain and light citrus aroma. Earthy, almost musty malt taste. Moderate floral bitterness.

Straw yellow with a foamy white head that leaves plenty of lace. Aroma of grassy hops, sweet malt with some grains, floral and spicy hops too. Taste is very florally hopped with some pepper, spice and sweet malt. A bit thin and lowly carbonated but not too bad.

Bomber. Poured clear paler golden with a thick, well-retained cap of white head.. set up quite nicely. The aroma picked up floral and lesser lemony notes over pale and bready sweetness.. soft and well presented. The flavor had sourdough bread at the core with fresh floral, grassy, and citrus bitterness around.. mildly sour overall impression.. nice balance to it. Light-to-medium bodied and spicy on the palate, again with good balance.. just a little too sour at the back. Very good overall.

Thanks to TheCheeseMan. Pours a bright gold with a thin white head. Flavor is light lemon with some hops and a slight skunkiness. Very light taste.

[Bottle] shared by skyview. This was quite a surprise, and easily one of the best lagers I’ve ever had. Pours clearish gold with a smallish off white head. Aroma is a little bit of sweet malt, lager yeast, and a touch of honey. Flavor is interesting with a nice medium/rich mouthfeel. Surprisingly complex for a beer of this style. Honey and a touch of lager yeast round it all out.

Courtesy TheCheeseMan. Pours like a standard pils, a clear, medium-golden color with a small, fleeting, off-white head. Minimal, soapy lacing mostly rejoins the body. The aroma is crisp and fresh, creamy pils malts accompanied by light grassy hops and a tart lemony zing. Flavors are light, fresh, and easy going. Bready yeast and creamy, lightly sweet malts are balanced perfectly by a nice dose of grassy hops and a hint of lemongrass. A smooth, creamy, moderate body works very well in this highly sessionable brew. I could easily drink several bombers by myself on a Sunday afternoon.

Tasting at mcbackus house. Yellow pour. White head. Aroma is pretty boring. Grainy and malty. Flavor is bitter, pale malts, and grainy. Not a super high quality beer. But drinkable.

Bottle... Backus’s Backdoor Bash ‘08... Clear, straw-colored lager with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. The aroma is reserved, but I am finally able to pull butter, straw and pale malt notes from the glass. Medium-bodied with a lightly creamy mouthfeel and near-dead carbonation. Tilts only a fraction toward the hoppy side of balance. Bone-dry finish. Kudos to TheCheeseMan for sharing the bottle!
