"L'homme Vert is a chic traditional farmhouse ale. It's brewed with 20% roasted butternut and acorn squash along with spelt and local rye malt. It was then fermented with a blend of Belgian saison and witbier yeast and finally magic barrel aged for three months. It has a crisp refreshing character despite its alcohol and will get funkier in the bottle over time. A la votre!"

Interesting stuff - aroma mostly of earthy yeast and a little vegetal from the squash, especially as it warms. Tastes heavily sweet at first, somewhat tart finish, with a little bit of a lingering alcohol kick. Kind of a mish mash of a beer - fun to try, but a bit rough.
