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!

375 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 4/18/2017. Pours hazy medium golden/yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big lightly tart lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, pear, green apple, orange peel, white grape, peppercorn, hay, straw, floral, grass, oak, wheat, cracker, white bread, light leather/musty funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/spicy/light funky yeast, citrus/floral hops, oak barrels, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big lightly tart lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, pear, green apple, orange peel, white grape, peppercorn, hay, straw, floral, grass, oak, wheat, cracker, white bread, light leather/musty funk, and yeast/oak earthiness. Moderate peppery yeast spiciness; and light tartness/oak tannins on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, pear, green apple, orange peel, white grape, peppercorn, hay, straw, floral, grass, oak, wheat, cracker, white bread, light leather/musty funk, and yeast/oak earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy/light funky yeast, citrus/floral hops, oak barrels, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance, and minimal astringent flavors lingering after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from tart/tannin/spiciness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly acidic/tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a great dry hopped saison! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy/light funky yeast, citrus/floral hops, oak barrels, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink; despite the increasingly spicy/tart/tannic/drying finish. Nice Amarillo hop presence with classic saison yeast character; and a pleasant amount of the classic JP house funk, without going overboard. Very flavorful, with a nice malt backbone for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.
