The road to Amarillo is long for a dog with short legs.
Sometimes things happen.
Things like riding an armadillo.
Bamarillo uses the same grist bill as Bam Bière, but with half the amount of Crystal and Cascade hops. Amarillo hops were added in place for their rich, tropical fruit qualities. Bamarillo was aged in an oak foeder for three months, and in the final month of aging, pineapple puree was added to accentuate the hops fruity characteristics. Before packaging, Bamarillo was dry hopped with both Crystal and Amarillo hops. A fruity, dry, and drinkable ale. Bamarillo is there for you to make things happen.
One day Bam went down to Texas.
Praying for surf.
He didn’t set out to ride an armadillo.
Who does, really?
He didn’t set out to have a veritable sea of chestnut trees either.
But along the road to Amarillo dry hopped saison, things happen.
Things like riding an armadillo.
And naming it Ben. Ben the armadillo.
Ben there, done that.
Cheers & Mahalo plenty!

Draft at Snallygaster 2017. Poured a mostly clear golden yellow color with a small, white head. Aroma was that Jolly Pumpkin character that you come to expect from their beers. This one was decent. Light and funky. Floral, with a little bit of citrus and lemon peel.

Tasty sour farmhouse, equal parts tart citrus, pineapple, saison grassiness, and funk. Oak and amarillo hops add a firm dry woodsiness to the back end, while the fade adds an oak bite to bready yeast. Absolutely refuses to give up any sweet notes. Gorgeous pour, and the funk is in full effect on the nose. Nice pint.

Bottle - labeled at 5.1% - lightly hazy gold - fizzy pour that fails to kick up a head - nose of pineapple, muskiness, oak, white wine, Brett funk - very dry, moderately sour, moderate herbal hop bitterness - subtle but complex yeast funkiness and bacterial tartness - finish is dry and oaky - it’s solid.
