Bomba!
Alternate Ending Beer Co.

Sampling this 12 oz can at fridge temp and poured into my pilsner glass. The beer was purchased at a local package store in Pennsylvania.
the beer pours a bright golden color with several streams of carbonation rising to the surface and feeding a fizzy bleached white head. this foam is roughly 1 cm and fades to a sturdy surface covering that remains throughout the sampling. Scattered lattice lines my glass after Ive taken a few sips.
Aroma is some grainy malt and a bit of husk note, I do get some bit of earthy note and some floral honey, which could be from the saffron that was added to the brew. No real hop character on the nose.
First sip reveals a light to medium body with very fine tingly carbonation and a smooth texture.
Flavor is grainy sweet malt and a bit of a honey note. But this does roll to some floral and earthy note. Maybe this is hops, or maybe this is the saffron? Either way my glass is empty very quickly during my sampling.
this is very easy drinking beer and it has some interesting flavor that isnt overly robust in any direction. Glad to have tried this one.

This isn't exactly a Japanese Rice Lager, but rice from Spain is the featured grain and it shows up in the aroma. The modest alcohol and the cereal taste make this a lovely quaff. The saffron finally shows up as a hint of heat and a distinct but indescribable spicy note and slight bitter aftertaste. Clear yellow gold with lots of lacing in the glass. Mouthfeel is bright and sudsy. After some sipping the saffron is unmistakably in the nose. This would be one of my choice Lagers if I lived in New Jersey. From the 16 oz can that showed up on the West Coast. Not dated.

Bomba! pours a darker golden color, with a small head. The aroma has a big hint of wild rice, a little bit of an offness. The flavor is the same, dry, lots of wild rice notes, hints of that saffron, a little off overall. Good feel. Overall, flavorful, dry, enjoyable rice notes, with just a little bit of offness.

The pour is golden yellow with a medium level of carbonation. The taste is white crackers, grains, short grain rice, & saffron. Cheers! B
