Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a clear golden straw yellow color with a big puffy white head. The head has a fantastic level of retention, fading over time to leave a light level of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma of the brew is big and sweet. There is tons of candied sugar, peach, banana, and apricot. Along with these smells comes a good showing of caramel and biscuit malt as well as some yeast, herb, and hay. Other notes of a wheat bread, grass, and a spice aroma of coriander and clove. Overall, the aroma is quite sweet and inviting.
Taste – The taste begins with a crisp cracker malt flavor mixed with some sweetness of candied sugar, caramel, peach, and grape. These flavors create a nice base flavor for the brew, lasting throughout the flavor profile. All the while there is a yeastiness and spice of clove and coriander that get stronger as the taste advances. Some light banana flavors develop as the taste advances, being accompanied by a hay, herb, and grass. Some light funky and papery flavors develop more toward the end of the taste, combining with the rest of the tastes, leaving one with a very nice and crisp, lightly funked and slightly sweeter taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is slightly thinner and more-crisp with a carbonation level that is high. Overall, the feel is awesome for the mix of tastes, creating a very easy and refreshing sipper.
Overall - A great farmhouse with a nice blend of easy drinking malt, fruit, yeast, sweet, and funk. Quite nice.
