Pours a light cloudy gold. Aroma is off, very funked up. Citrus, yeast, tart yuckiness, not even going to finish this rating, infected unfortunately.

Very cloudy orange frothy white head. Aroma is funky yeast and citrus. Taste is acidic fruit but not sour more tart, possible wild yeast strain infection. Light body and carbonation. Nothing horrible but just tastes a bit off.

Bomber from Barrios’ Massechussetts Trip Tasting. I believe this is infected. Aroma of bandaids, plastic, tart funkhouse lemon and hay. Flavor is massively tart upfront, but once you get past it, there is some hints of apricots, and lemon pledge. I think this is just a young infection and hasn’t made this totally undrinkable. It’s actually not that bad right now, kinda like a saison. Awesome label.

Aroma is of hay and light notes of cardamom and nutmeg. Flavor has a good dose of grassy hoppiness. Pretty nice.

22oz bottle. Pours a dark, golden hazy color with a white foamy head. Nose is yeasty with some nice notes of straw, a bit sweat like honey. A nice medium palate, smooth with light carbonation. flavors of straw and sweet honey like malt.

(Bottle). Sweet fruity aroma, like lemon cough drops. Cloudy golden color, small white head. Flavor is fruity, somewhat sweet, very mild. Lemony finish, with a slight bite of bitterness.
