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.

Bottle poured a lightly hazy reddish amber with a lasting amber head. Aromas of barnyard, earthiness, light saurkraut, light pine and a hint of citrus. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a lightly dry slightly tart finish. Flavors of barnyard, bretts, lemon, earthiness, light carmel and a hint of pine with a crisp lingering lightly tart bitter finish.

(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. This beer is a mix of not knowing shit and perfect cleanness.

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.

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?

Bottle. Huge head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are crisp clean hops, some acidity and fruits.
