Our Tastes-- Bam Biere Farmhouse Ale


Dipping into a sixer I picked up a few months ago, we try Jolly Pumpkin's Bam Biere. Named after the brewer's Jack Russell that was hit by a car and "bounced back", this beer is for all of us who have been knocked down, picked up, dusted off and carried on. Pouring a frothy head (remember to swirl since it is bottle conditioned) and having an aroma of bubble gum, the bitter, tart apricots jump onto your palate! Pouring an extremely pale golden yellow this beer is not too shabby. What throws me off is that the brewery is in Michigan but has a Hawaiian underlying laid back theme. Plus the label looks a lot like my dog Indiana. No info on the brewing specs but it's 4.5% and available in 12s and 750s.
