Farmhouse Ales were originally brewed as “Provision Beers” by farmers in Belgium and France, brewed in the winter months to be consumed during hot summer work days. They were traditionally brewed light and refreshing to aid in both hydration and energy. Wheat and Pilsner malts were used to lighten up the body of this Mad Hatter version. It was also fermented hot with a strain of Belgian Saison yeast to develop flavors of green apple, pepper and fresh cut hay. Brewed for Hatter Days

Poured a lively orangey amber. A big foamy white head takes a minute to settle down and leaves sticky lacing as it does. The aroma is mild, with just light hints of malt and a touch of yeast. The taste has a little bit of spice, but not much funk. It's kind of bland, as it goes along. The mouthfeel is adequate, with a just little spicy bite. It can't seem to decide if it's an IPA with a Belgian twist or a Belgian Wit with an IPA twist. In the end, it's muddled and not really either..
