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, thanks hopscotch! Hazy brown with thick rocky head and loads of lacing. Lots of silver metallic notes with salt too. Bone dry like a JP should be. Orval-like finish, so gorgeous.

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.
