My first beer from this brewery. Very impressed. Pours a thick head with a hazy straw color yellow. Pour gently as this head explodes into the glass. Flowery nose and taste with a nice peppery finish. A very nice Farmhouse ale. I will get again and look forward to trying some of their other offerings.

Typical of American crafters getting into this tradition, it is hard to get the right yeast. Instead, they typically throw in the hops. And Farmer's Daughter has too many to go with food. So, I had this with popcorn.
Despite my stingy rating, I don't want to discourage domestic (i.e. American) saisons. After all is said and some is done, Belgian yeasts are just a learning curve. American crafters will get it right more and more often. With 10,345 saisons on BA (as of April), the learning progresses fast. And there are reasons for Americans to work on this style. After all, saisons don't have rules that, certainly, lager styles are restricted by. Saisons are free to make malt bills of whatever grain is available. So we get higher % of wheat and obscure grains can add nicely to a barley-dominant bill. I guessing the key is get the yeast right so the flavor of the grains adds the subtlety so the hops don't get leaned on.
Enough said, keep the experiments going !
