Bomber from Kunda Beverage. Cloudy orange amber, with pine and pineapple aroma. Orange and grapefruit taste that finishes piney bitter. Unsubtle but not awful.

On tap at Hydra, pours black with a small brown head. Aroma brings out lots of charcoal, with cocoa and some earthy roast. Flavour is along the same lines, with earthy roast, cocoa, and sludgy coffee. This is really thick and sludgy. If I weren't so beer'd out, this might be more enjoyable.

On tap at Hydra, pours a cloudy bright yellow with a small white head. Aroma brings out plenty of lacto, with some light tart citrus. Flavour is quite yogurty, with lots of tart citrus, tons of lacto, and gentle acidity. Competent enough, but nothing special.

Draft at Independent Ale House in Rapid City SD. Dark brown color purple tint. Aroma of dark roast coffee and plum. Taste is sour coffee balanced by sweetish plum. The combo works.

Bomber from Taylor’s Pantry in South Dakota. No sign of a date anywhere. Aroma is strong caramel, hint of sulfur. Pours hazy golden with a one finger bone white head that collapses into a big-bubbly ring fairly quick. The taste is quite bitter with lots of caramel malt flavor; not quite as bad as the aroma let on. I’m not sure if they intended it to taste this way, or if age has made the extreme caramel malt character come out. Wish they dated their bottles. There’s no sign of dankness, citrus or pine like the description says up there. It’s all caramel malt here. I bought this to be my first South Dakota tick. The awesome name and label description sold me on it. I guess I should have looked for a beer with a date before settling for this.

Draft/Fest. A- Citrus, sour. A- Yellow color, clear liquid, white head. T- Citrus, tart. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly tart finish. O- Nice stuff. Definitely more sour than pale ale. No bitterness tasted and while it’s sour it’s not warhead extreme. Almost drinks like a tart lemonade.
