darbish (38), Portland, Oregon, USA May 3, 2008 very sweet and fruity smelling, but it also smells a little like the other bridgeport offerings (but with fruit juice). opaque, and the color is somewhere between purple and orange (not pink like the description claims). I’m not sure what to say about the flavor? its quite tart and it tastes so much like berries i’m expecting seeds. but it tastes a little vinegary to me for some reason as well which is a disappointment. bitterness is nonexistent, there are no hop aftershocks as far as I can tell. It’s pretty good, but it’s a little too fruity for my tastes. B.
Skyview (3142), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA Nov 19, 2008 Picked up a single 22-oz bomber at Bottleworks in Seattle, WA and sampled during Minnesota first annual Sourfest. Pours a semi-clear salmon colored brew with a fast dissolving light pink head that dissipates to a fine off-white ring. Aroma of golden grain malt, some tart cherries, a hint of gouda cheese, and citrus zest. Taste is medium bodied, plenty of carbonation with flavors of mildly tart cherries and strawberries, some cereal grain, and some wood character. Finish is slightly watery, not as funk dense as most other lambics but still has some flavor. SudsMcDuff (1068), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston,TX, Texas, USA Oct 26, 2008 lots of berry funkiness in the smell .. pours a murky brown dark jack ruby colour .. lots of fruity tartness and some bitterness ... similar to an authentic kriek ... grade A lacing .. needs to be fuller to be great, but quite refreshing and strangely mellow ... ’’no more lies, i loved that bagel!’’ ... enjoyable sweet/tart balance , sourheads and lambic lovers might really like this .... MLS refs are a joke .. Beardface (344), Eugene, Oregon, USA Oct 19, 2008 Bomber. Strangely pink in hue, the fruit doesn’t really work for me in this one, it’s way too sweet and horribly unbalanced. Love the pin-up label though. BDR (1984), Roseville, Minnesota, USA Oct 17, 2008 A still strawberry red body. Tart cherry aroma. Faint cheese in there as well. The body was a bit watery with faint strawberry flavor. Rciesla (1571), Brick City, New Jersey, USA Sep 26, 2008 Bottle. Amber body with no head. Cherries and vinous pinot notes. Some oakiness with a berry finish.
