Also, Jolly Pumpkin has that ESBam, that is a hopped up version of their Bam Bier... I think, although I don't recall it tasting much like Dupont. Jeff,

It's that bitterness and earthy-spicy quality. It's a top-five beer for me. It's odd, too, that it's really the only version that's hoppy. So strange others haven't gone for that, especially domestics. I’m so with you. It’s that bitterness and earthy-spicy quality. It’s a top-five beer for me.
