Pours a clear amber-orange with a large lasting fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet and vegetal along with some mild hops. Flavour is malty with a bit of fruit and some hops in the finish. Medium bodied. Not bad for the style I guess but it doesn’t do much for me, just not my style. tagz (334), USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 15, 2007 Bomber. Bronze with a big tan head. Nice lace. Nose is lots of sweet, caramelly malt with a bit of fruit and light, earthy hops. Well carbonated. Not quite as sweet as many maibocks, which is good IMO, sweet honey and caramel malt, just a touch sticky, but the stickiness does not detract. Smooth, lightly sweet finish, just a bit of earthy hop bite. Nice stuff.
