LyndaNova (492), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Oct 20, 2006 Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a misty pale orange/yellow color with a tiny amount of alabaster bubbles. Aroma and taste are of sweet malt, nice yeast, and light orange. Well carbonated. Lightly sweet and dry ending. Volgon (2487), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA Oct 20, 2006 Bomber: Slightly cloudy yellow orange with a thin white head, flowers and sweet yeast aroma, starts and ends lightly bitter, nice body for the style with nice carbonation, smooth ending with a sharp bite. jetzler (622), oklahoma city, Oklahoma, USA Oct 8, 2006 Bottle 50F Lager. Sweet aroma, with a very pilsner like smell, light touches of light hay, very little hops smell at all. Nice medium yellow color, with a white head that laces nicely. Good light sweet taste, maybe not as dry as I would like but reminds me a of a good German or Czech pilsner. For a lager the mouthfeel is larger and with good tight carbonation. Pretty nice maybe I should have drank it a touch colder. TampaBeer (181), Tampa, Florida, USA Oct 5, 2006 Updated: Dec 17, 2006For a lager, this is one of my favorites. Refreshing, with a nice sweetness, nice aftertaste, and very clean flavor. This beer seems to be greater than the sum of its parts, though critically not outstanding. adamnfineman (53), Springfield, Oregon, USA Sep 30, 2006 One of the better-known beers from the Rogue family, but not very impressive. It was one of the cheapest on draught, but it didn’t really do it for me. themadmumis (344), Westminster, Maryland, USA Sep 6, 2006 Leaves a lot to be desired. Tastes like a twist of traditional Yeungling lager but at a higher price. Definite malt medium body that’s easily drinkable. I appreciate the ratings and ingredients on the bottle. VTHopHead (895), Barre, Vermont, USA Sep 3, 2006 Bomber - Pours a pretty golden amber in color with a foamy white head. Aroma is slightly hoppy and sweet. Flavor is also sweetish and not has hoppy as I expected, based on the aroma. Flavor is not that strong and has the underlying feel of corn adjuncts, like an megabrew. That part is quite disappointing, of course. I would have expected something more from Rogue. buckybeer (666), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA Aug 28, 2006 There is just not much here. Pretty bland. It is not bad but it seems boring. Pours medium gold with nice head. Very mild hops and malts. More like a macro.
