This was the first beer I had last month at an evening at the Green River Brewery. Being a big IPL fan, it jumped right out at me (plus the laughable name, I mean, didn't Boomers ruin lager? Who knows, I'm just a Gen X guy stuck in the middle of these generational clowns). Looked quite hazy and dark brass/bronze with 1/3" head.
The commercial tug job talks about the Kohatu hop providing lemon and lime notes similar to a neomexicanus or wild hop, but I dunno about that. I dug the rare hop (my first exposure to it ever?) usage combined with workhorse Cascade. For me, it had more of a grassy, pine, grapefruit and mango thing accentuating those notes in Cascade with just a slight tropical addition from the Kohatu. Slight lager yeast push in a good way aroma wise.
The bittering was solid as it almost always is with Cascade, similar notes as the aroma, I liked what it brought to the table. Seems like a winning recipe. I would like to see its appearance cleaned up, and it wouldn't be worse if its body was slightly drier, but still, liked the beer. Would bang again.
