May 7, 2008 22 oz. Bomber: Pours a dark amber with a frothy off-white head that is mostly lasty leaving nice lacing. Sweet malty aroma has hints of bread dough and caramel. Flavor is sweet and sour(caramel apples) that is thin on the palate while finishing with a mild bitterness. I found this refreshing and enjoyable!

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle enjoyed on DLD; couldn’t get an accurate color but it was a shade of red. Smell and taste was "typical" for the style. Dry finish. Solid example of the style, but nothing too distinguish it.

Jan 22, 2008 12 oz bottle from party chalet in Goshen, IN. Dark red amber with huge off-white long lasting head. Aroma is herbally, with light malt sweetness. Flavor is sour cherry, though I can see what the original malt was, slight nuttiness but it really is overpowered by that aged fruit, the beer was not like this the last time I tried it (that was pre-rating). Creamy medium body. Not half bad, I think I liked it better fresh though, nevermind hindsight.

Jan 13, 2008 I feel like I have really got lucky considering the reviews from this brewery and their bottling issues. Go Irish! Pours amber with some reddish undertones. White fluffy head and spotty lacing. Aroma is similar to that of green apples. Malty and dry.

Jan 3, 2008 12-31-07 bottle.
Clearish red brown in color with a nice fluffy head which quickly vanishes. Smells almost like sour yeasty cherries. Taste is awful - this has to be a bad batch because this is dreadful! Feels like mineral water on the palate - tastes like a Sour Patch Kids Candy that was soaked in battery acid. Gross and sour.

Jan 1, 2008 Dark, semi transluscent brown huge foamy tan head. Very high carbonation is evident from the pour. Smell is apple juice like malt. Taste is very sour malt all the way. Extremely fizzy mouthfeel as well. Not sour in a rancid, band-aid or guaze like way, but just simply sour. According to other reviews it seems like this is common and perhaps not a bad bottle...Not very true to the style nor a good beer either.

Dec 7, 2007 Beer was deep red in color with thick white head. Good mixture of hops and a hint of spice. slightly bitter aftertaste but not disappointing. good beer to have at any time or season.
