Bombastic Brewing

Don't remember beer specifically. purchased at TW&M within the last couple of years and drank it. Gave it a decent rating. Good Mexican Lager with a good balance on flavors.

 

 

Wow - probably my favorite Mexican lager of all time… not a huge bar to clear, but that means something to me. On-tap in McCall, beautiful clear straw hole. Smooth pale lager aromas, nice sweetness underlying with bready malts and a clear flash of lime, salt and lime on the palate blend nicely with a crushable bready malt body, minor floral and earthy spice notes, really enjoyable.

For someone who doesn’t want a ton of lime, salt, or pungent lager yeast to be honest, this beer is a perfect offering.

another mexican lager with lime and salt actually in it, i feel like these have really become popular the last few summers, good to have a local(ish) one around, although i wouldnt put this that close to the top of the heap. the base beer is plenty light in both color and body, although still a shade darker than the yellow i am used in these, but the flavor is quite cereal forward, dry and all, but its crackery and pils malty and a little less neutral overall than i think the mexican lager style has come to represent most of the time. the lime is stronger than the salt in the flavor, but neither are overdone which is nice, a little floral and even approaching perfume level when this warms up a bit, but the extra ingredients in general are nicely dosed and authentic in here. the salt highlights the grain to me though, which makes this less thirst quenching than anticipated, even though its clean enough on the ferment, well carbonated, and pretty minimal otherwise save some generic maltiness. faint tang from the lime in the middle is pleasant, minerals from the salt on the swallow, subtle papery character, lightly bready, zesty and summery too though. im still really hit or miss on bombastic, sometimes they nail the hard stuff and miss on what should be easier, sometimes their wins feel like happy accidents, sometimes their beer surprises and impresses, other times its annoyingly amateurish or out of sorts. this one is pretty good overall, but not as tidy as maybe it could be, and definitely not as refreshing and repeatable. should be a hot seller over the summer though...

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Clear golden pour, fizzy white head. Aroma brings light lime notes and biscuity malts. While the lime is light, it is noticable early in the taste, a long with bready malts. Salt is barely there but does add a noticeable dryness to the brew. Fast finish with only a smidge of lime.
