Commercial Description:
As you might expect from a Lightning Beer, we made an American Lager that is unlike others. It is big, has a slight corn taste associated with the style, hefty hopping and a true laggered overall taste. For hops, we used American varieties and a selected strain of American Lager yeast for fermentation. This is a big beer: around 8.3% A.B.V., with a slight aroma of hops, a moderate amount of bittering hops to balance the maltiness of the beer, and a clean fermentation from the yeast and temperatures we use through the process.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of DrBill. Slightly hazy golden with a small, rough white head. Sweet and malty nose. Medium body, very solid and sweet malt base while I don’t really pick up any corn. Hardly any bitternes. Perfect if you love malts! 070709

22 fl oz bottle at the Stone Bistro, courtesy of Dr Bill. Pours and golden orange with a fully gone head. Vague metallic and cornish aroma. Sweet caramel malt flavoured. Light fruity touch. Very clean and malty flavoured into the far finish.

This pre-pro lager is golden in colour. It has lemon hop on the nose with some graininess and caramel. It’s fairly grainy but with smooth, bright flavours and hints of malt that come in late. Well-balanced.

Bottle... Clear golden lager with a small, creamy, white head. Good retention. Notes of sweet corn, pale grain and spicy hops are the rule, aroma-wise. Full-bodied and a little oily with prickly carbonation. Tons of residual sugar. Sweet, white corn-on-the-cob... medium to heavy sweetness; moderate, metallic, peppery bitterness. Lengthy, sweet finish. Pulls up just shy of being downright cloying.

Draught No head over orange, still beer. Some malts and a very light sour nose as from pickles. Winey taste, a bit sweet, with just references to hops. Cookies (fresh) and garden herbs. Some finish bitterness. Medium bodied. Bitter almonds in the aftertaste: the alcohol showing. Light bodied, but not unenjoyable. A lighter alcoholcontent might make it a good sessionbeer.

Bomber from South Bay Drugs. Dark gold color with a decent white head. Aromas of pale malt and grassy? hop. The aroma suggests a beer that is better than average. Full bodied with creamy carbonation. And that’s an understatement. My brain is reeling, but the alcohol is not impacting the aroma or flavor. Finish is very tasty. It’s not dry, but it is really tasty. Good lager.

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.

Bottle. Pour s a pale yellow body with a white head. Damp paper and wood with a hint of pears and a strong unbalanced etoh warming. Bad bad bad.
