500ml split into Alas tulips with Lisa. Solid beer. Lemon and lime floral nose. Sharp but not acidic. Fruity taste with some spicy yeast character. Nice chewy feel, well carbed. Good stuff.

L: Poured a pale straw color with a little less than a finger of frothy white head on top. Good amount of bubbles and it's got a semi-cloudy appearance with decent light coming through the glass.
S: A thin layer of hop aroma lies on top of your run-of-the-mill farmhouse qualities: banana, pepper, clove, and a hint of bubble gum. A little bit of funk finishes the aroma off nicely.
T: Very refreshing. Peppery beginning lends its way to some semi-tart fruit flavors like apricot, peach, and maybe a touch of mango. Finishes with a dose of hoppiness as well as some funk.
F: Has the mouthfeel of a solid Belgian-style ale. Medium body with a healthy dose of carbonation transitions into a crisp, refreshing finish.
O: Nice and light. This would be perfect for a spring or summer afternoon. I'm glad that I get some of the hops in this one as they create a nice fruity layer of juiciness to contrast the tart funkiness of the yeast.

No date anywhere on the bottle. That's obnoxious.
Beautiful beer when poured. Hazy golden yellow with a massive head. The nose and flavor are all on-point for the style but with subtle hop character. Hops are a delicious pairing with the farmhouse yeast. Body and feel are a bit thin but overall this is a solid farmhouse beer with some tasty hop additions. First beer from these guys and looking forward to more.
