Draught. Golden pour with full fruity aroma. Flavour is balanced and complex, plum, sweet malt and a bit of hop. Fruity finish.

650 ml bottle. Pours a clear amber with medium head that dissipates quickly. Aromas of sweaty socks, resin, and perfume. Flavors of resin, dried bananas, pepper, and old yellow fruit. Watery. Belgian Ale? - close but a miss.

Bomber. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. A sweet fruity nose, pear and apricot. Great flavor of prickly pear, berry, dandelion, really herbal. Interesting.

Bomber from Belmont Station. Pours golden amber with a slight white head. Smells earthy with touch of sweat sox. Full bodied or nearly. Flavor is sweet struggling to overcome Belgian yeast/spice and some seemingly earthy hop. There’s fruit ester. Maybe a hint of pineapple. All in all it’s tasty, and it does try to finish dry. Doesn’t quite make it, but there’s some pleasing bitter.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a clear pale golden with a small off-white head. Aroma of light fruits ( apples, pears), Belgian yeast, and almost a chemically type note. Flavour brings out considerable spice, Belgian yeast, and a touch of light fruitiness. Very light on the palate, with a lingering spicy finish. You can definitely tell this is a "Belgian-style" ale, rather than authentically Belgian. Not really complex or sophisticated. Drinkable, but not overly enjoyable.
