Urban Farmhouse Ale (previously known as B-side) is a light , crisp and refreshing farmhouse ale. Golden to light orange in color with a floral nose and a dry finish. Urban Farmhouse Ale is brewed with three base malts: Organic Pilsner, Organic 2-row and Rye. [Farmhouse Ale] Northwest grown Willamette, Golding and Hallertauer aroma hops offer a soft underlying bitterness to help bolster the refreshing nature of the beer. The key note speaker in this beer is the Farmhouse Ale yeast.
Traditionally farmhouse ales were brewed on farms in the French and Flemish regions of Belgium. These beers were born out of necessity as most water was not potable and the farmers needed a light, refreshing low alcohol beverage to offer the hardworking farmhands.

Gave a cloudy pour, so cloudy tan with a big head, yeasty, peppery, floral nose is classic saison. Sweet malty, pale malt, character with peppery yeast, dusty character. Good balance...sound example.

Bottle 750ml @ fonefan
Pours slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt, yeast, pepper and citrus. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with a long slightly dry and peppery finish. Body is light to medium, texture is thin to oily, carbonation is fizzy.

Bottle, 75cl. It pours a dense, finger-thick white head over an almost clear, pale golden body. The aroma has a little yeasty and pilsnerish touch, with piney and resiny hops in the back. Some peppery hints. It’s medium bodied and quite dry, with a bit heavy carbonation level. Lemony, piney hops, a nice bitterness, pale malts and a faint fruity sweetness in the flavor. Lasting dry and bitter finish. Not my favorite farmhouse ale, but it’s quite decent. 141025

75 cl bottle from ølbutikken. clear yellow, smooth white head. yeasty and slightly bitter aroma, faint fruits, a quite clean saison, the belgian yeast is there, but it seems perhaps a little bit less spicy than many other saison. flavor is faint banana, yeast, good bitterness, sort of belgian yeasty note.. taste is pretty good too, a very easy drinking and very tasty saison.

Hazy straw color with a medium white head that burns away steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of malt, yeast and fruit. Light to medium body with flavors of herbal yeast, citrus, peppercorns and malt. The finish is floral and fruity with a yeast and citrus aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Bottle. Pours with a clear, very pale yellow hued body with a small white head that fizzes away slowly. Aroma shows mild sulfur, large carbonic bite, medium malt character, phenols (pepper, cardamom, 4vg), dry esters. Grassy hop notes. Flavors are dry, peppery, mildly savory, rye, crackery, floral, and slightly spicy. Very high carbonation, carbonic bite, a touch papery. Low body, easy drinking. Pretty decent saison.

Draught at St. Augustine’s, Vancouver
Cloudy blond color with compact head. Mild yeasty and spicy aroma. Dry mouthfeel; light bread flavor, light stale bread impression too, plastic touch, timid yeast spiciness, ordinary bitterness. Can’t identify it as Farmhouse, just a dry Wheat.
Mostly boring.

Location: Draft at Blind Tiger, 3/26/14
Aroma: Has an aroma of yeast, grain, fruit (apple, pear), and some spice
Appearance: Has a clear apple juice looking pour with a small head and mild lace
Flavor: The taste is a mix of sweet, tart, and a little bit of spice
Palate: The body is light and fizzy, tingly and clean feel on the mouth, and a tart finish
Overall Impression: I wanted this one to be a little better. It isn't a bad beer, there's some good stuff going on here, but it just isn't a great one.
