Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

Bomber - A very grassy butterscoth aroma. Nice deep golen color with white head. Fruity, hoppy, acid flavors. A nice beer, but just average.

Would be nicer but for the obvious diacetyl. Getting over that, there is a lot of fruit in here, and a juiciness that is somewhat tamped down by the slickness of the butter-chemical. The hops start spicy and end drily bitter. There’s a lot in here but it doesn’t quite add up.

Thanks to hopdog for this... Appears a hazy gold with a 1 inch white head and scattered lacing left around the glass. Smell is of butter and toffee with mild grass notes. Taste is of the butter and toffee with slight hops, along with light caramel notes. Mouthfeel is sweet, and slightly bitter.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with The_Beer_God (thanks for being by Legend source!). Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Very strong buttery aroma. It was hard to get around it. It wasn’t as bad in the tastes. Tastes of grass and had a ligh spiciness to it.

Thanks to hopdog. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a small lightly lacing head. Aroma of butterscotch. Flavor of dry hops and butterscotch.

On tap. Not a bad beer but not a great Pilsner. Maybe its the Halertauer and Tettnang that threw off the Saaz aroma, but the hopping didin’ttaste right for the style either. However, it was a good beer.

Bottle: Clear pale straw yellow with a medium frothy white head. This smells pretty mild. I get scents of salty yeast, grassy hops, light malt, bread, honey, and flowers. Taste is floral hops, grains, fruity yeast, and a bit of salty malt syrup. Light bodied, medium carbonation, nice crisp mouthfeel.

Amber color from the bottle, foamy head that quickly dissipates. Aroma of medium malts. Tastes earthy, wheaty. Not bad overall.
