Commercial Description:
UFO experts claim that this element combined with another element make UFOs fly. A true American style beer made with lager yeast fermented at warmer ale temperatures gives this beer a slight fruity character yet remains crisp and refreshing. What kind of beer is it? It depends on whom you ask. Some will call it a West Coast lager, some a California Common and other still will say amber hybrid. We hopped this beer with four different west coast varieties of hops, Northern Brewer, Cluster, Simcoe and Mt. Hood.

Courtesy of ’who brought this beer?’. Pours copper with a bit of haze and thin off white head. The aroma is sweet with date sugariness, sugary crystal malts, a bit of caramel and faint cherry. The taste attacks you with carbonation bringing in some ‘off the mark’ tartness along with lemon too. Soon after a caramel and date note both rise up to add a sweet fruity sensation.

Bomber pours a amber-copper colour with a thick tight off white head. Aroma is biscuity malts with an earthy yeast tone and a slight orange peel fruitiness. Flavour is medium bodied bready malt with a light tartness to it.

On tap. Pours a hazy copper. Lots of malt flavor. Semi-sweet with a dry finish. Could use a bit more hoppiness to it. OK for an emerging brewery.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of Skyview. Pours a slightly hazy amber golden with a dense off-white head. Lightly sweet citrusy nose. Medium body with some maltiness and lightly tart citrus. The finish a rather hoppy. Mostly reminds me of a decent German Zwickl. 260708
