This is the result of two IPAs, brewed at different times and vatted together before bottling. One sat for 4 months on wild yeast and oak chips. The other was fermented with a Saison yeast and dry hopped with Nugget and Brewers Gold.
This beer is designed to be cellared and will become more complex with age.

Pours dirty, hazy orange golden, topped with large frothy offwhite head, very gushing and settling soon. Quite intense spicy r se with some grapes, cellar feel and some fruitiness. Extra herbal bitterness, very sharp with lots of barnyard feel and spices. Too ibtense and not that nice.

Bottle from Beer Gonzo shop, Earlsdon, Coventry consumed at Caravan Club site at Cheltenham Racecourse, Cheltenham, Friday 13th May 2016 Pours orange gold almost glowing with a huge foamy white head. Nose twitch aroma, with Brett, zippy ho ps and barrel ageing notable, lovely clean, zesty nose. Soft mouthfeel, nice carbonation, wow this is amazing, it?s like an Orval on steroids, absolutely loving this, a touch sweeter than Orval but Brett forward, dry finish, lovely. A8 A5 T9 P4 Ov18 4.4

330ml bottle from Beermerchants
BBE 19/2/19 - Pours orange with a massive foamy head. Aroma of funky yeastiness, fruits, oak, wood, bretta and lactic notes. Taste is funky, woody and fruity with some yeast, hints of bretta and tartiness. Finish is yeasty, woody and fruity with hints of hops and grass. Interesting, not your typical bretta IPA. A bit messy though.

Bottle at home in London - sourced from BeerMerchants. Opens with a loud hiss, then pours cloudy orange-gold with a massive froth that billows out of the glass. Loads of bretty funk in the aroma, some citrus fruits, poop. Medium sweet flavor with ripe orange, some gooey citrus, light rindy and piney bitterness, more funk, some alcohol, a little woody dryness. Medium to full bodied with lovely carbonation. Warming finish, somewhat resinous, with more poopy brett, ripe citrus, tangerine, orange. A little full on at the start but I really settled into it.

330ml bottle from beer merchants. Pours hazy orange with over-enthusiastic bubble-bath foamy white head. Bretty barnyard aroma. Taste is wonderfully complex.. rich, yeasty, citrus, vanilla.. even shades of Champagne. Quite a few layers and depth to this.

330ml bottle. Gusher on opening. Hazy amber colour, frothy white foam head and fruity, barnyard aroma with hoppy hints. Taste is malt caramel, fruity, citrusy, hoppy with some tangy bitterness and barnyard, yeasty notes. Medium bodied, medium spritzy carbonation, dry earthy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Murky amber beer, good cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and finely crisp. Good bright brett. A little citric peel on the back end. Brett turns savoury in the light finish. Good stuff. More hops would be even better.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy bronze body with a massive off-white head. Lively carbonation. Light lacing. The aroma reminds me of Orval - lots of green apple, nectarine, funky yeast, parma violets and hay. Flavour of apple, lemon sherbet and salted bread. Bitter peppery finish. Medium body with a spritzy mouthfeel. Lively fizz. A wonderful beer with lots going on. Any beer with ’Farmhouse’ in the title is one I seem to like - I love the raw, yeasty flavours.
