22oz bottle-pours an off white head and gold color. Aroma is mild west coast I.P. lager (Amarillo and Simcoe), secondary medium malt-caramel. Taste is balanced hops and malt with initial spice/lemon/resin, then a solid light/medium malt backbone follows. Thanks jwc215 for sharing this.

Bottle. Pours a golden yellow with a one finger off-white head. Aroma is earthy, grainy, and grassy with herbal and floral hops. Flavor is caramel malts, citrus, spicy pepper and a hint of honey with a light bitterness and a hoppy dry finish.

Bomber. Good nose of peppery and citrus hops, a little pine and grass in there as well. pours a pretty amber yellow with a good head and lacing on the glass. taste of hops, malt, pepper, and a hint of orange, a a slight metal background. a little bitter and slightly dry on the finish. this one gets a thumbs up as far as lagers go. not bad.

Golden yellow with a medium white head, slowly fading. Aroma of citrus, toasted malt, cereal grains and bread. Taste of toasted malt, citrus and alcohol. Finish is semi bitter and a bit strange. Perhaps I am suppose to feel like I downed a sword. A steel hop lager? I would rather have a steel hopped ale, but hey it was not too bad, especially for the price as I found it on closeout. Hopefully the problem with rate beer not accepting apostrophes ends soon...

Bomber from Country Club Liquors. Nose of floral, orangey citrus hops. Hazy yellow with a small yellowish head. Flavor is bitterness tempered with lemons, kind of like a lighter IPA. Finish is slightly bitter.

Bottle. Poured amber with a creamy off-white head that left light lace. Hoppy aroma with a light malt backing. The flavor finds hoppy citrus with a caramel background. Medium body, medium bitterness throughout, smooth texture. Pretty decent.

Bottle shared with Blankboy after everyone left after the tasting. Medium yellow, small white head. Nice aroma - sharp hops, light malt, toasty. Good taste - hops are quite nice over the light body. A good hoppy lager with a nice fresh malt taste.
