This easy-drinking farmhouse ale is reminiscent of traditional European saisons, but with a few flavorful twists all its own. Using Golding, Sterling and Meridian hops results in a sweet yet lightly spiced flavor. This incredibly refreshing farmhouse ale bears the name of the farm to market road just to the south of where our brewery has proudly stood for over 100 years.

On tap at an Old Chicago. Pours a near orangish gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of flora with supporting sweet citrus and backing sweet grains. Flavor starts with sweet citrus and potpourri and has a sweet grain finish.

Bottle. Slightly funky sweet orange malt aroma. Hazy honey gold with a small white head. Orange, banana, bready malt, and light dry spice flavor. Light body, lively carbonation. I found this to be quite pleasant, which seems to put me in a minority.

Draft at Hotel Victor... The nose is skunk/funk, stale malts, grains, cat pee, and a bit of fruit... The pour is a clear golden orange color with a small white head and light lace... The taste is also kinda skunky, some funky note, yeast, fruit, and no hop... It has a fairly light body, feels kinda watery, with average carbonation... Definitely not a winner.

Bottle @ home picked up at Wilburs Foco. Pours a fairly clear, golden orange appearance with an off white head. Slight skunk/cat pee, a bit spicy yeasty, mild citrusy, dirty aroma that is really not pleasant. A bit herbal, quite spicy yeasty, tangerine/orange fruity, herbal, fairly bitter flavor. This is really not good, but would be an excellent beer for Ernest to rate.

Pour is a cloudy yellow with a medium white head. Aroma is some funk and grassy hop. Flavor is again with some funk with a slight grainy malt and not much else. It is going in the direction with a nice funk but not much of a flavor profile after that. I wonder what yeast was used? Bonus points for being a saison in a cheap six pack.

12 ounce bottle from Harris Teeter Crozet. Pours a clear golden color with a thin off-white head that fades very quickly. Aroma of hay, grain, mild barnyard, sweet finish. The taste is earth, hay, malt. Medium bodied. Meh.

Pours light orange gold with a slight white head. Aroma is lightly funky with some spice. Good start. Med minus body. Flavor is decently funky (tho more would be nice) and lightly spiced. It seems to have a little wheat/cardboard aspect at first, but it washes away. Finishes like a light saison.

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a clear, pale gold with a half finger of white head. Aroma of bready bubble gum yeast, pears and some light baking spices. Taste is light sweet. Bready spicy yeast and a little pear. Medium bodied with a slick and slightly thick texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. Probably one of the better Shiners I’ve had.
