Pours gold with a nice white head. Smells of citrus, grassy, wildflowers, spice, dry malt, earthy. Tastes spicy and of caremel with some dry malty hints and some nice bitter hints on the finish. I’ve enjoyed this entire series so far and look forward to Freaktoberfest.

22 oz bottle. Pale golden colour. Aroma has a little bit of sweet maltiness. It’s on the light side but with an interesting sugary/candyish sweetness. Earthy/woody hop aroma. The flavour is a little bit sweet and lightly peppery. A lightly noble flavour on the back. Ultimately it comes across like an upscale malt liquor... a little bit muddled to me.

This starts out okay, pouring a deep gold body with a creamy head and plenty of lace. The aroma is grainy and sweet balanced by a grassy, floral bitterness having a touch of citrus rind. The flavor begins malty and smooth but the hops from the nose transform into a hit of metallica. (Are those the steel hops?) The latter is retained in the finish, which isn’t a very enjoyable finish. Still, not too bad of an attempt at a stronger lager.

Deep golden color with a moderate, bigger bubbled head of light beige bubbles that diminishes slowly to a ring around the glass. Hints of herbal hops with some caramel and a bit of alcohol in the nose. Mild sweet toasted malt in the front. Herbal hops in the middle Touches of alcohol let you know this is a formidable lager. Fairly dry finish with a touch of pepper and bitterness. Linger is slow and a mild toasted malt flavor gradually returns. Palate is crisp and clean. A strong oktoberfest type brew. A good fall brew. Palate is crisp and clean.

Bomber from World of Beer. Poured amber color with an average frothy white head that was lasting and produced good lacing. Good moderate to heavy hoppy and malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth sticky texture. Moderate to heavy bittersweet flavor with with a moderate bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Very good brew.
