The longer the table, the more room for friends. This season, our new Long Table Farmhouse Ale is the best excuse to pull up a chair with your closest companions for a few rounds. An ode to the bucolic, table-friendly Belgian saison, we’ve added a delightfully new hoppy spin to the style, creating a sip that whisks a taste of the tropics into the Old World. Traditional grains of Munich, pale malt and rye lend a wash of toasty, spicy bread, while exotic Nelson Sauvin and citrusy Chinook hops buoy the juicy fruit flavors of our Belgian yeast. So gather around and get ready to hoist this spritz complex farmhouse ale amongst the company of friends.

12 ounce bottle. Honey gold color topped by a large billowing white head. Nice clinging lace. Nice yeasty sweet malt and fruity hop nose. Upfront, grainy malt yields to sweet fruity malt reminiscent of apricots and cloves. Nicely balanced by the tropical fruit hops, their is an underlying peppery bitterness that comes through in the finish.

On tap at PreFunk. Good saison, hits all the right notes, but doesn’t excel in any particular category. Hazy straw colored body, herbal/floral aroma with hints of yeast and honey, taste follows on with same spectrum. Enjoyable and drinkable.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours translucent gold with a creamy white head. Aroma of citrus, grape, Belgian yeast/spice. Med body, almost. Flavor is a little malt, some spice, white berry, maybe citrus. The spice seems to be clove, given a little time. Just the slightest bit earthy. It’s a good drinkable saison, but nothing to knock your socks off.

Wow, this is about the first time I’ve ever felt that ratebeer let me down. In deciding whether I wanted to buy a six of this I glanced over the ratings (a rare thing for me indeed). Not the numbers mind you but the content. As I’ve come to despise the medicinal clove/banana phenolics, I generally stay away from such beers. Lo the reviews mentioned little in this, the main comments on fermentation profile being funk and barnyard. Well you guys are on glue I can tell you that. There is not the slightest bit of funk in this beer, it is all clove juice phenols, bananas, spicy hops at the edges, dry, lacking a malt underpinning. Failure as a saison, like a cheap knock off of a Belgian golden ala Duvel without the proper carbonation or mouthfeel. Whichever, I’m not rating to style anyway, just a big disappointment I have to drink 6 of these.
