Nov 7, 2009 Bomber from Binny’s River Grove. Pours dark ruby brown with tan head. Aroma is tart cherries and wood. Flavor is sour cherries, wood, and some dark fruit. Mouthfeel is medium with good carbonation. This is sour but not over powering. This is pretty damn solid but not quite on the level of supplication in my opinion.

Oct 30, 2009 Welcome to Atlanta! Holy shit, this beer was at Mac’s liquor store on West Peachtree; last one too! Nice dark color. Dark brown with a slight ruby hue. The head fades away quickly. Sharp sour ale, without the fruity sour aroma. Very acute sour aroma. Wood is not a very big factor in this one at all, but I can slightly smell it. Mild cherry aroma, as others have said. Very sharp sour flavor that dies out rather quickly. Doesn’t have that nuanced fruity, yeast, sour flavors as other sours do. Wood is really not a big factor at all. Sour going down, but again short-lived. Decent sour beer, but not the best.

Oct 27, 2009 Bomber. Poured dark amber with red highlights. A thin bit of off-white bubbles settled into a small ring around the edges of the glass. The aroma was sour apple, cherry and light wood. The flavor was lots of sour cherry and apple over some sweet malts and a touch of wood. Thin body with a dry mouthfeel. OK. Honestly I thought it lacked personality.

Oct 24, 2009 2005 bottle shared by JB/customercopy. Pours a deep amber with a thin beige skin and patchy lace. The nose is beautiful: a sour cherry-strawberry blend. Beyond that it’s difficult to describe any other definable notes, but it’s very nice. Light to medium-bodied and tart with a drying finish. The flavor: tart strawberries and happiness. This is a very good beer, but it is one of the most difficult to describe of all those I’ve ever tried.Thanks again John for sharing this treat with us. This year put to the 2007 bottle I had to shame.

Oct 17, 2009 Bottle as shown. Pours a clear dark amber with a small frothy light tan that leaves decent spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a sour fruit with cherry and apple. Thin mouthfeel with a tarty fruit taste with cherry and sour apple. Easy to drink, very refreshing, an impressive sour ale from New Belgium. 700th Rating!

Oct 10, 2009 A friend offered this and urged me to considered sour beers again. I did, and regretted it. Oaky aroma, almost like a good cape pinotage. Brown with frothy head. Unbelieveably foul taste. Tastes like that vomit in your mouth when you have your first ride in a Puma before going into combat. Beastly finish.
