Formerly Lafayette Farmhouse
Named after Gilbert du Motier - better known as the Marquis de Lafayette, the Frenchman who enlisted in the American Revolution and went on to become one of George Washington’s closest allies. The beer is a celebration of the two countries and blends characteristics of a traditional French Saison with the sweetness of an American fall harvest. American corn and wild honey compliment the malted grains and French Saison yeast to give it a slightly sweet flavor. Peach and passion fruit aroma dominate the nose of this complex beer. Sniff then sip… or gulp. The fruit aroma comes from the dry hopping process.
22.3 IBU

L: Poured from a bottle to a pint glass. Had a bright amber color and a thick, cloudy texture. There was a big, foamy / fizzy, fairly long-lasting head. Sparse lacing.
S: A nice, subtle aroma of the typical saison barnyard funk, light fruit, and malt.
T: Tasted of a slightly grainy quality (not a big element), a bit of malt, some honey, light fruit (apples, perhaps?), some Belgian-style yeast notes, peach, and the advertised corn. A much more subtle flavor than I expected. Generally pretty lively and complex.
F: A highly carbonated beer with a somewhat dry finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A decent American version of the Belgian saison. It works surprisingly well. Vibrant and easy to drink.

Poured from bottle. Beautiful golden amber color with finger length of foam. Smells of sweetness, grass and fruit. Good carbonation and mouth feel. Definitely picked up on the honey and peach during tasting. Overall a pretty good saison.
