FARMHOUSE ALE
Golden, naturally cloudy & dry-hopped for a tart & tasty balance of spicy malts, hops, & yeast.
Bam Biére is named for our Jack Russell, who struck by a car, bounced back in fine tenacious Jack Russell fashion. This artisan farmhouse ale is brewed for those of us who knocked down, have picked up, dusted off & carried on undaunted.

Bottle. Gold with a modest white head. Aroma of crackers, lime, orange blossoms, coriander seed. Decent body for under 5%. Starts a little sweet and fruity, finishes dry and slightly spicy. Acidic apples. Funkier than suggested by the aroma. Modest bitterness. Hadn't noticed it was bottled 12/15, but it seems to have held up OK.

Not bad white head and foggy orange body. Floral sourness, some yeast, coriander, light grain. Flavour is a light sourness with white bread notes and a crisp finish. Quite nice, good sharp breadiness tempered by the quaint sour ale over arching the thing.

I got this bottle in a trade with Wasatch. Thanks John!
This pours from 12oz bottle a cloudy yellow-orange with a *huge* very billowy head of foam that doesn't do a whole lot of receding. It gets so thick that I imagine I could spoon it out and it would keep its shape. I like that.
The smell...hit me as soon as I popped the cap on the bottle. It's all fruity and yeasty and funky and it has notes of candy sugar and tartness. Pretty darned complex.
The taste up front has a mix of sour and sweet flavour. The sour is mostly from apple, the sweet is from a mild malt presence.I'm getting a yeasty flavour now as well as a touch of funk and some peppery notes. It has a thin mouthfeel, the carbonation is high, and it finishes crisp and dry with a short but pleasing aftertaste.
Overall, I find this Saison a treat to drink and quite sessionable. I'd drink it again, no problem. Thanks again, John!
