Commercial Description:
Bam is an extra special dog. After surviving being struck by a car, he daily somehow manages to avoid being carried away by the largish birds of prey gliding overhead, riding unseen thermals. Bam's tenacity seems only to be surpassed by his oversized personality. Join us in this celebration of his excess. More malt, more hops, same vivacious personality.

750 mL bottle from mcbackus in the perfect 10 3.0 swap. Thanks Matt! Pours a murky reddish brown color with a huge head, moderate retention and great lacing. Slightly funky aroma with soft citrus, cheese and berry notes. Smooth taste of citrus, herbs, berry. Nice bitter finish. Medium body.

750mL bottle, Batch 267,268. Poured brilliant garnety-amber with a creamy, well-retained cap of eggshell head. The aroma was dry, spicy, and musty with a healthy dose of Brett.. lemon zest rolled in ever-so-slightly afterward and paired well with the dated wood and earthy notes.. balance was spot on. The flavor did not dissapoint.. tangy lemon zest was laced throughout and ended in a mighty fine refreshing finish.. peppery spices and old dusty farmhouse were also found at multiple points.. complementary sourdough bready sweetness supporting it all. Lighter-bodied and lively on the palate with plenty of carbonation.. the added hoppage (from Bam) had a bit of floral influence and worked alright (though I still prefer Bam).. excellent stuff!

Bomber. Batch 288/289. Pours cloudy orange ruby, huge off white head. Aroma is funky, musty, tart, and woodsy. Flavor is tangy, tart, woody, some peat (hops), and bitterness that lingers on the tongue.

750 ml bottle - thanks to colin for this; light gold with thin white head; aromas of apples, raw yeast and orange peels; woody and slightly sour (of course); green apples dominate; dry and bitter with some barnyard funk

(Bottle) Pours glowing orange amber to grayish brown with a creamy off-white head. The aroma holds soft and well-balanced notes of funky horse blanket/barnyard-ish Brett, toasted bread/dry, cracker-like malt and grassy/herbal/woody/hay-ish hops. A great deal of tart, sourish, green apple cider and lemon/lime/orange peel citrus is also notable. Very dry on the nose. The flavour is toasted malty, barnyard-ish yeasty, citric/apple-ish fruity and grassy, woody and herbal hoppy. Light, light sweet. The dryness and the noble hoppiness is fantastic but the mouthfeel is too watery to be ass kicking. Medium carbonated. Light to medium bodied.

Bottle. Pours a hazy orange yellow body. Lots of JP funk, acidic fruit, orange, lemon with a matly backbone. Light etoh. Some like wood and hops. Decent.

Bottled at 3 små rum. Hazy, deep amber. Light and sourish aroma. A bit stale. Sourish and dry, light bitterness. A bit bland.

750. Thanks, Nugget! Hazy burnished dark copper. Thin sudsy white head. Webby lacing. Big coriander and balsamic nose. Bit of tartness. Creamy, slightly fizzy medium body. The mid-palate has some wood notes and a little funk. Mild nutty finish. This is a bitter?
