Lightning Ionizer Lager

Lightly hazy thick golden pour. Sweet and malty aroma with some mellow floral hops. Sweet and alcoholic with flowery hop flavor. Has some bread and yeast notes. Too sweet and alcoholic for my tastes. There was a reason I gave up malt liquor.

This strong lager/malt liquor pours a medium orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head, quickly dissipating with some decent lacing. The aroma is grainy and grassy, kind of sweet with some orange. A medium bodied post-prohibition style lager. The malts are fruity and sweet, with a lot of grass and grain. The hops are earthy and spicy. The 8.3 % alcohol is kind of noticeable. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Not a lot of the typical high gravity beer characteristics, except maybe for the sweetness. It’s a little too sweet for my taste. Mouthfeel is very full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet.

Light golden-amber beer with a whitish head. Grassy, earthy, light malt aroma. Grassy, malt, light earth flavor. Medium bodied. Lingering sweet malt and grass.

On draft at O’Brien’s. Appearance is a clear light orange hue, thin layer of dissipating bubbles, minimal lacing. Smell is sweet bread malts, corn, a touch of darker fruits, grassy hops. Taste is sweet grainy malt with a underlying dark fruit presence, slight bitter grassy hops and lager yeast, finishes dry w/slight alcohol warming. Palate is full-bodied, creamy thick and chewy texture, moderate carbonation. Overall, a moderate, thickly sweet lager that almost feels Belgian-ish, even at 8%abv there is good balance and flavor going on here, very unique style of beer, I was pleasantly surprised!

22oz bottle. Pale yellow with a small foamy whtie head. Earthen, herbal hop tinges with corn and appley malt. Heavy sweetness up front, vegetal and grainy characters. Some spicy hops in the finish, with heavy residual sweetness and a raw corn component. Mouthfeel is a heavy medium.
