Light and basically an ale version of American standard lager: light bodied, little malt flavor, no hop flavor, lingering bitterness is the primary flavor component.

Updated: This beer has come along way and is no longer the thin watery mess it was. They describe it as their maltiest brew, but thats not really correct. It does have a slight buttery maltiness but it is also loaded with spicy hop flavor that makes this a good choice.

This beer has come along way since its inception a few years back. It is now *good*! Really, this beer was basically nothing, but BBC has turned things around and many of their beers are on the right track. This is crisp, dry and bitter, with all the great hop flavor one could want. A nice round maltiness complements the hops.

Whoa - where'd this come from. If I didn't know any better I'd say the folks at BBC are getting better at what they do. This is big, rich, and roasty. Full of flavor and still a good match for food.

The best offering from BBC and a very typical porter. Medium bodied, somewhat sweet with a roasted malt flavor. Its pretty much the only beer from BBC that I'll take home in a growler.
