BMO Shoresheets

Finally got my scoresheets back from the Brewmasters Open in Alpharetta GA.  In what I got with the package was a bottle of C-Brite and a Newcastle pint glass.  Too bad I wont use the C-Brite but the Newcastle glass I will use.

Weizenbock - 34.6 3rd place 15c - Placed a lot better than I thought it would.  Notes on the beer are exactly what I think.  I have no idea why the yeast didn't produce enough of a "wheat" character, but I will know better next time.  I'm going to let the keg sit for a few months and drink it this fall/winter once it gets colder outside.

Funky BSD - 39.5 3rd place 23a - Put this in speciality cause it really doesn't fit anywhere.  Did very well and this beer is amazing.  Not overly sour even though that's what the judges were expecting, it's not at all what I was trying to do.  I wanted a beer that showcased everything.  Funk, Cherries, Oak, the base beer and I did just that.  One of the better beers I have brewed.

Belgian Pale Ale - 30 Did not place 16b - Yeah this beer kind of sucks.  It had some very alcoholic phenolics when it was fresh and with age it dropped out to nothing great.  I had a bottle that I bottled early on and it was awesome.  Too bad the keged version didn't turn out so well.  I think the notes are pretty spot on.

Overall for the 2nd year in a row I have been impresses with the BMO and will continue to sned them to them.  I have had my issues with competitions  in the past but this one seems to be top notch in the south east.
