On tap at Farmer’s Cabinet. Pours a light-medium copper color with a short head. The nose is interesting from the start with loads of botanicals along with honey and some brandy. Light fruitiness and a "bitters"-type bitterness coming through the finish. Light honey taste in the background. Touch of brandy. Not something I could drink much of, but quite interesting and well made.

Draft at The Farmers' Cabinet in Philadelphia, PA.

Pours a cloudy golden orange color with a two finger frothy white head that slowly settles into a pillowy cap.  Chunks of soapy lacing left behind.

Sweet, slightly musty floral aroma with some funky yeast, zesty spice and sweet light fruit notes.  Pepper, coriander and ginger along with wheat, bready yeast, apple and pear.  Possible some faint honey in the nose as well.

On the fuller end of medium bodied with an interesting combination of funky yeast, sweet fruit, zesty spice and herbal/floral notes.  Hints of ginger and pepper along with subtle earthy hops and funky yeast.  Kind of like a sweet, spicy saison with a  strong floral/herbal flavor in the finish.  Kind of an odd lingering medicinal presence but blends well with the other flavors.  A bit boozy as well with some apple brandy flavor coming out as it warms.  This beer is based off of a cocktail recipe and they were successful in making it taste like one.

A collaboration with Stillwater Ales, based off an original cocktail from the Farmers' Cabinet's fall list.

The cocktail is comprised of 8 year Demerara rum, apple brandy, honey, fig preserves, lavender, and balsamic vinegar. Poured a hazy golden yellow, with an amazing nose of lavender, sweet citrus fruits, and some barnyard qualities. Finishes with a medium body and mouthfeel, the alcohol is very well hidden in this one.

Glad I finally made it to the Farmers' Cabinet and was able to try this limited release, highly recommend it and the establishment in general.
