The debut of our low-alcohol Farmstead Ale in honor of our four-legged furry friend of the same name. Conditioned for four months, dry hopped with Mosaic and Simcoe hops, and naturally carbonated.

750 ml. bottle.
2.0% abv.
That's two per cent!
Bottle conditioning since 20220331.
Moderate to vigorous pour yields a one inch white head over a slightly hazy straw colored body with a bit of sticky lacing.
Nose is citrus; mostly lemon with a bit of grassy hay and the slightest funk.
Taste follows nose closely with the lemon joined by a bit of orange and other citrus flavors.
Wow!
Great feel for such a low alcohol offering.
Overall; mind blown! Such a surprisingly flavorful beer.
Get your asses up to Greensboro Bend now!!
Cheers!!!

Taste: Tart, citrusy, grapefruit, lemon zest, tropical, mango, with a touch of grains and funk.

On tap.
This is very light of course, but some solid flavors. It is very citrusy however. Lots of lemon, light lime. Saison like, but more shandy like. Not really for me.
