I poured this one into my snifter and the head was amazing. It was probably three inches high and fluffy white. The beer itself was a bright golden yellow and cloudy. The smell reminded me of ketchup but in a good way. The taste was tomatoes! The flavor was really complex.
update 08/28/09 12oz bottle which must be a couple years old. Smells like a fantastic wild ale, subdued barnyard and lemon, excellent. The score remains the same however because this is awesome.

Nov 29, 2009 (bottle - 750 ml) Light hazy golden pour with a ton of white foam and lots of carbonation. Aroma is slightly spicy and dry with a mild sweetness and a very mild sour note. Flavor is tart and dry at the start. Very dry and earthy in the middle with a dry and tart finish. Almost like a carbonated chardonnay.

Nov 27, 2009 12oz bottle from green’s in columbia. pours a bright, yellow-gold with a thin, bubbly white head and quite a few yeast floaties and solid lacing. aroma is quite nice with big belgian brett funk, barnyard, lemon and orange peel, with a hint of apricot sweetness and cedar wood. flavor is nice as well with lemon zest, mild brett funk, hay, floral esters, and hints of clove with tart notes of cherry and apple cider vinegar. palate is light, highly carbonated, and maybe a bit thin and watery with a short, cedar wood and tart lemon finish. overall, a solid saison.

Nov 26, 2009 Subtle fruit taste with a striking champagne finish...mainly from the carbonation. I smelt and tasted cherries and oranges. It felt soft, crisp & buttery on my tongue.

Nov 25, 2009 Bomber poured into a tulip. Pale orange/gold color, murky, with fluffy white head. Aroma of orange peel, lemon, coriander, yeast, funk, wheat. Taste is bitter and funky, with lots of lemon zest. Virtually no malt sweetness for balance, it’s all citrus and funk, with some tartness. Mouthfeel a bit thin and watery. Carbonation is fizzy and crisp, finishes dry.

Nov 25, 2009 Bottle. Cloudy apperance, with yeast on the bottom. Spicy, barnyard smell. Aww, another adventure into a sour beer. Well, this one is not bad. Maybe I’m getting the hang of this stuff. Still, not my first choice. Does have a nice malt-hop balance but that twangy taste.....

Nov 19, 2009 Hazy yellowish orange color with an enormous rocky off-white head that slowly slowly settles down. Lots of chunky lacings.
The smell is really good. Refreshing fruit aromas, floral notes and a mild funkiness reside on a delicate biscuity malty backbone. Hints of spices and medicinal phenols.
The taste is surprisingly clean with notes of lemon-peel and melon up front. The fruits quickly step aside and make way for spices, faint malts and grassy and earthy hop notes. A very mild funkiness and a semi-tart note is overpowered by a moderate sweetness. The finish is surprisingly short, mildly tart and bitter with notes of medicinals, spices, minerals and brett flavors.
Medium body, crisp and refreshing with a rather aggressive carbonation. The finish is really dry.
I like this one, and in general I find Jolly Pumpkin’s brett character quite pleasing. Perhaps Bam Bière can’t compete with the best Belgian representatives of the style, but it’s quite close.

Nov 13, 2009 Courtesy of Bov. Pale golden with a white head. Fantastic aroma. Hints of lemon peel, candy and sage in both nose and taste. Mindblowingly pleasant. Thanks a lot Bov!
