It’s Substance in the DeLorean. An honest, scaled-up version of Noah’s baseline homebrew recipe for our flagship beer. Fermented dry with a clean American yeast strain and some more West Coast-leaning, decidedly dank hops than exist in Subby's current form. A celebration of BBB's humble start on an apartment stovetop.

Can from Tavour. Pours gold with a large white head. Dankness wafts from the pour along with some citrus. Med body. Flavor is dankly citrus with some discernible pale malt support. Hop burn in the mouth. High level of bitterness. Excellent flavor. Excellent ale.
