| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 2, 2003 Another winner from New Belgium. A tad spicy, wheaty and very strong fruity aroma and flavors reminiscent of corriander and tangerine, with a nice bits of hops and a malty balanced aftertaste. Makes this a very enjoyable saison. riversideAK (2728), Shoreline, Washington, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 24, 2009 Tap at Brouwers. Had while hanging out with bvc. He had the Glacier IPA as did after4ever who was there too. He rated it highly This one has tons of fruit on the nose along with lots of brett. I got notes of orange, peach, lemon, dusty brett, some spice. A touch of bread perhaps as well. Pours a nice orange, hazy with a thin head. The flavor is also very fruity. A great deal of orange, lemon, peach. This is followed by some bready spicy sweetness on the mid palate and a does of dusty funk in the finish. Medium carbonaton, silky smooth mouth feel - assuming the oats contribute to this. Drinks very nicely and is pretty flavorful. Nuffield (2724), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 23, 2003 Decent head, white over a soft reddish-brown body. Underlying fruitiness, citric, but dry and a slightly astringent finish. Mild aroma, lively palate. Creative and overall excellent. Or, as Per said to me, "funky", because there sometimes just aren't the right words to describe it. Suttree (2723), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 23, 2006 Cloudy, dirty orange, thickish white head. Aroma is funky, musty, and vaguely fruity sweet. Sweetish flavors up front, with some dusty, flinty notes, too. Some woody flavors, too. Kind of an Orval-ish quality. IrishBoy (2712), Bakersfield, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 13, 2009 Bomber from Supermarket Liquors, Cheyenne. Nose kind of lightly vegetal and funky with some light spices mixed in. Clear bright orange with a medium off white head. Flavor is spicy with a tiny bit of bitterness. Tastes much better than it smells. notalush (2662), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 20, 2009 Bomber (Lips of Faith) - hazy gold pour - nose of spices, belgian-ish phenols, honey, a very mild wild character, crackery malts - herbal bitterness - full but soft carbonation - starts with light phenols, very light funkiness, gingerbread, and moderate herbal character - these complexities are soon washed out by a honey sweetness soon becomes all you can taste from the middle, through the finish - maybe a touch of mango - starts out great, but ends up slightly disappointing.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 8, 2002 ReRate 06/08/02: As I have changed my rating system, to reflect more acurately the beers sampled, a re-rate of my top 100 beers is now in progress: The beer pours a cloudy orange color, generous head and lace. Nose is malt, slightly citrus, sweet as is the start, top light, the finish is nicely hopped, dry, acidic and quite ’Quaffable’. Aurelius (2648), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 16, 2005 Hazy light apricot color. Mild tartish yeast armoa. Medium heavy bittering. Sourish fruit, some chile pepper vegetable flavors without the heat. Medium light sweetness. Plum and sloe in the tartish medium finish. A doughy, twangy aftertaste. Nic NB yoked bottle. Finish got a little clingy.
