650 ml bottle from Bev4less. Pours a slightly hazy dark-gold color with a medium white head that soon fades to a thin film. The aroma showed distinctly fresh corn in the forefront with a bit of red fruits. The Flavor shows more corn, biter walnuts, fresh green herbs, and sweet grains. The alcohol is present everywhere. The mouthfeel is rather heavy with lively carbonation. The finish is long with biter nuts. Overall: An imperial lager if you ask me. Not bad, but not gonna try it again.

Aug 12, 2008 On draft at O’Brien’s. Appearance is a clear light orange hue, thin layer of dissipating bubbles, minimal lacing. Smell is sweet bread malts, corn, a touch of darker fruits, grassy hops. Taste is sweet grainy malt with a underlying dark fruit presence, slight bitter grassy hops and lager yeast, finishes dry w/slight alcohol warming. Palate is full-bodied, creamy thick and chewy texture, moderate carbonation. Overall, a moderate, thickly sweet lager that almost feels Belgian-ish, even at 8%abv there is good balance and flavor going on here, very unique style of beer, I was pleasantly surprised!

Jul 27, 2008 22oz bottle. Pale yellow with a small foamy whtie head. Earthen, herbal hop tinges with corn and appley malt. Heavy sweetness up front, vegetal and grainy characters. Some spicy hops in the finish, with heavy residual sweetness and a raw corn component. Mouthfeel is a heavy medium.

Jul 26, 2008 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.

Jul 5, 2008 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.
