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.

My sink drain tried to spit it back at me. After reading the other reviews, I am not sure that I got a bad bottle but this was foul.

Pours turbid coppery with huge white head that kept reappearing and made wonderful, La Chouffe Houblonish shapes. Nose was hopcitrus, yeasty spice, florals. Tasted very dru, very hoppy, floral, spicy, and citric, and was very bier de gardish in smell, flavor, and mouthfeel.

Bottle - Pours hazy amber with a big, frothy head. Smells really bretty with a lot of citrus. Taste is dry and bitter, with some oak, grapefruit, and lemon. Has a dry, grassy hop finish -- a little too much for my tastes. Real bubblly and medium bodied. There’s just too much dryness to this one -- the citrus helps a bit, but it’s too one-sided.

Pours a very slight amber orange with thick white head, lots of lacing. Aroma is interesting and enjoyable of citrus and herbal hops, tart fruit, yeast, and an expected earthy character. Flavor comes together better than I was expecting and the bitterness definitely complements the sourness. Very enjoyable and refreshing.

The aroma is funk, barnyard aromas. the appearance is an opaque brown, tan head. The flavor is funk, sour fruit. The finish is tart, with a floral hop bite. Decent overall.

Where the Wild Beers Are @ The Gate 8/30/09. Orange amber with head and lace. Mild funky herbal perfumy hop aroma. Dry woody leather dry tart cherry with clean hoppy herbal finish. Very dry. Maybe not the best beer ever, but it appeals to my tastebuds. Nice.

750ml bottle. Batch 288/289. Reddish Brown body with a nice, big, light tan meringue-ish head. Aroma is funky, sour with some spice and apple Flavor is mildly sour, tart, woody and bitter with some bready malt. The finish is bitter and bordering on too dry but not quite. Carbonation is pretty lively but soft. Some thick lacing left as well. Good stuff.

Bottle at the Where the Wild Beers are event. Pours a somewhat murky brown with a medium beige head that falls quickly. Touch of sweetness, light funk. Medium bodied, bit of caramel, and very large carbonation. Finishes dry with some brett notes.
