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.

750 ml bottle. Pours a hazy yellow with large head. Aromas of yeast and lemons. Taste is similar and simple. Light and delicate for a Saison but quite refreshing.

Bottle - Bread, hay, pineapple and honey on the nose. Cloudy yellow with a quickly diminishing fizzy head. Yeasty and acidic with the usual farmhouse features of hay and a little citrus. A very average beer of this style.

On tap at APEX, pours a cloudy golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma of mandarin oranges, Belgian yeast, dough and slight candied sugar. Flavour of Belgian yeast, slightly sweet dough, and crackery malt. Not as rustic or authentic as I like my saisons. Pretty bland and light, but decent.

Draft. Light amber beer with a whitish head. light yeast aroma. Spice and light yeast flavor with malt and backing hops. Medium bodied. Spice and light pine linger with earth and yeast. Hoppier than expected and nice.

Draught. Golden pour with thin white head. Had that funky aroma of a good Saison. Refreshing, and low enough in alcohol to be a session beer. Worth trying.
