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.

OMG - I think I’m in love. This beer is a perfect marriage of bretts and hops. Dry like a good saison should be, full of bretts like a good sour and full of hops like an IPA! Pours a copper with minimal head. Aroma is bretts and hops. Flavor is the acidic sourness from the yeast and hoppy bitterness from the hops. Floral hops abound in this one. I can taste notes of hay and grass, farmhouse, leafy autumn evenings and freshly mowed lawns.

Pours a hazy deep caramel with a wild yeast funk nose and flavor in the front palate. Mid to finish it goes kind of weird and undescribable. A bit creamy on the palate.

Cloudy orange colour with a large white head. Hoppy, floral aroma with a light fruity note. Light caramel sweet flavor with floral notes and hints of fruit.

Batch #288/289: This poured a hazy caramel in color with a tall fluffy light khaki. The nose was nice and gave off lots of spice along with tart citrus and a touch of herb. Unfortunately this took a turn in the mouth as it was very blah. It was acidic but also lacking almost all flavor. What was there was earthy and funky with an odd and not so enjoyable odd (soapy? fishtank?) flavor. Definitely not my thing.

Smell and looks alright, its too funky in a bad way for me. The malts are too tangy and the rest of the flavor feels soapish. not one for the casual drinker.

The aroma is funky and wild with tartness and sweetness. There is malt, hops, and wood. The appearance is amber with an ever foamy head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall I don’t like this one very much.
