A Vienna style lager, maltier and less hoppy than the Pilseners. Light amber colour.

[1] Review by BigBry from Calgary, Canada who has tried this beer once. (8/19/2006 11:59:24 AM)
"650ml brown bottle, generic Bushwakker label, brought back from Regina. One of the regular offerings. Pours a deep orange color, slightly hazy, with light orangy/gold foam. Nice thick head of tight small bubbles, but shrank away quickly, limited if any lace. Grainy and malty smell, not much hops, typical of an all-malt brew. Mild toasted malty flavor, well balanced with the hops. Just enough of a hoppy finish, touch of pine and citrus. Medium mouthfeel, sharp tingle on the tongue. A good full flavored lager. Because of the large bottle, my second glass was a touch warmer (big bottle won't fit in the fridge upright). The hops were way more pronounced in my second glass, both in smell and taste - kind of reminded me of a pale ale (Headstrong, maybe)."

[2] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer once. (6/2/2006 5:29:13 PM)
"650ml Bomber filled fresh from the brewery 1 week ago. Pour puts a beautiful red-copper lager in the glass with a very slight protien haze...has a puffy, clinging 2 finger sandy colored cap which lasts well and laces. Moderate carbonation. Aromas of rich toasty-sweet red Munich malts and just the slightest whisp of herbal noble hopping. Meduim bodied, gentle creamyness to the mouth feel....wunderbar! Starts out with a nice infusion of toasty-nutty-cake like malts that give a impression of liquid Bavarian walnut cake then the attenuated nobels give some herbal buffering to the rich toasty malts midway and produces a soft elegant mix of maltiness and herbs that dries out in the finish just enough to keep the drink from being sweet.... appetising biscuit snap in the after taste... A great authentic Canadian Vienna true to style and infinately drinkable. Absolutely no technical flaws. Bravo to the brewer for recreating this elegant, subtle and increasingly uncommon lager style!"
