3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20750ml Bottle. The pour was a clear cranberry orange with a small (less than 1 finger) light pink fizzy head that quickly diminished, down to just a small collar and had fair runny lacing.
The aroma was of sour cherries right off the bat with a mild grain malt and a musty Brett yeast and possessed a light fruity ester and a mild bubblegum scent.
The taste was sweetly tart with a strong note of cherries early on, progressing with a bold funky yeast presence and a sour cherry finish. The flavor lasted an average time after the swallow, with the yeasty sour cherry taste fading slowly off the taste buds.
Mouthfeel was light in body and dry in texture with a fizzy champagne-like carbonation.
Overall this was a tasty and refreshing brew with a very powerful fruit presence and a decent sweet-sour ending...

Been a few years. Reddish brown pour. Malty caramelish and cherry nose. Flavor is similar, but with a dusty sour flavor hidden in the background. Could be better.

Bottle from Aaron. Thanks! The beer pours an orange color with a big white head. Metal, cardboard, cherry, and a hint of bandaid. Tart lemon, light vinegar, lemon, and bubblegum. The flavor is moderately tart and somewhat sweet. Cherry, bubblegum, and some sweet malt. A bit of cardboard, metal, and a touch of bandaid. Not a big fan.

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear reddish amber with a white head. Nose has metal and dry berries. Light body, very dry and tart cherries with a metallic twist. May be considered quenching but really leaves some astringent tannins on my teeth. 060413

Bomber---> Burnt Hickory tulip. Pours a light amber with a hint of red and quickly disappating white head. Aroma is pretty malty with a small hint of cherry. Taste is light, mildly sour cherry and nondescript malt. Nice lively palate. Neither very sour or very cherry. Not bad, but kind of a letdown.
