This didn’t quite fit under the regular Farmhouse, or the barrel aged version. A special cask at Churchkey. Murky pale yellow color, scant white edge head. Aroma of vanilla, pine, citrus. Taste is sour and dusty straw and lemon. The oak chips added an earthiness and maybe some bretty characteristics. Not bad.Earlier Rating: 2/24/2012 Total Score: 3.2Draft at Smoke and Barrel. Hazy golden color, small white head, solid lacing. Aroma of straw, hay, white pepper. Taste is pine, subtle lemon, straw. Not bad.

12oz pour at Birch and Barley is a hazy, bright orange with some foamy, white head. Nose is floral, grassy, oranges, peach, peppery, some spice. Flavor is well balanced, light sweet, floral, herbal, orange, white pepper, yeasty. Medium bodied, lightly spritzy finish. Nice.

A golden saison with a thin white head. In aroma, nice pungent honey malt with wild herbs and beautiful hops, wild grass. In mouth, a nice herbaceous malt with fruity esters, herbal hops, nice and smooth. On tap at Lion’ s Pride July 31., 2012.

Draft. 10 oz. short pour @ When Pigs Fly. Hazy gold color with amber hues. Thick, dense head with great retention. Nose is citrus hops with a Belgian yeast element. Yeast and pale malt with a nice herbal / grassy hop bite in the backend. Mouthfeel is lively with a drying effect. Medium body. It’s refreshing, real fresh and clean tasting.

Meridian Pint, DC tap ($6): Pours a hazy orange colour with a frothy white head. Aroma is of piny hops, pepper, spice, and funky saison yeast. Taste is pretty much along the same lines. This is very full-flavoured, with just the right amount of hop bitterness. Slight aftertaste is present. Loads of spice present. Nice mouth feel. This was a pretty dope beer.
