Lightning Ionizer Lager

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.

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.

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.
