"A special beer made for the Bonaroo festival in Manchester, TN. An American farmhouse ale, this beer is light, blonde, super dry and easy-drinking. It is made with a blend of saison yeast and our house Chico strain – perfect for a hot Tennessee summer day."

Had on tap at Flying Saucer in Nashville.
Beer pours a hazy yellow.
Smell is slightly of bannana and yeast. Citrusy is also slightly present.
Beer tastes very light. A bit of yeast up front, followed by slight pepper on a finish.
Mouthfeel is very thin.
Not a bad sessional saison, but nothing special also.

Tasted On: 06-23-2011
Packaging: 64 oz. growler
Glassware: Tulip
Freshness: Unknown
Purchased: Growler fill at Frugal McDougals, Nashville
Appearance: Very clear, with a golden color. Head is white and about 2 fingers high on the pour. Lacing is moderate.
Smell: Classic funky Belgian farmhouse ale yeast dominates, with some fruity/citrus aromas and floral notes in the background.
Taste: Crisp, dry and tart, like a dry wine. Moderately bitter with no sweetness. Lessor tastes include pale malts combined with spicy and peppery flavors.
Mouthfeel: Carbonation is fairly high with a thin body. The finish is dry and acidic, with a lingering bitterness.
Overall: A good beer. I would have preferred a little less of the bitter/dry taste that seemed to overshadow the fruit and spicy flavors.
