Farmhouse Style Saison Brewed with aged hops, cofermented with Brettanomyces
The word? Like farm. But not? You ever see farmland out of a plane window? An aerial view of a farm is funny because it oversimplifies an extremely complex ecosystem run by blood, sweat, Mother Nature and debt into really basic shapes that you either disregard as “meh” or spend a lot of time thinking about. There’s a saison metaphor built in there somewhere that I’ll let you noodle on.
What makes this saison “farmhouse style”?
Rustic grist: pils, spelt, wheat, oats.
Aged Whole Leaf Hops: 2016 Cascade, if you please.
Mixed yeast culture: a cofermentation of saison yeast and Brettanomyces Claussenii bringing you esters, spice, aroma and the most mild pineapple rind funk not typically showcased by single strain clean saisons.
Farn is finished with a dryhop of younger, fresher, more vibrant Hop Head Farms MI-grown Cascades to amplify aromas of grapefruit zest and herbal orange rind.
Aroma:
Shortbread. Grapefruit peel. Orange peel. Dry pepper.
Tasting:
Dole's Peach Cup. Coriander. Orange breakfast scones. Dried pineapple.
Bottle conditioned with Champagne yeast.
Chill & serve cold!

A very pleasant and strong hop aroma and the taste is dripping with funk. Picking up a very slight tang (citrus fruit?) in the finish of the taste that pulls everything together.
