Farmageddon #11 is a 12-14 month blend of oak-aged, wild farmhouse ales. Batch #11 sees us drop the "Barrel Aged Brett Saison" descriptor formerly used for Farmageddon in favour of "Wild Farmhouse Ale" due to the range of microflora at play (a mixture of wild yeasts and bacteria), and the increase in tartness in this batch relative to those before it. The effervescent beer that hibernates in these bottles is a dynamic labour of love, changing and improving with time.

Bottle pour at the brewery. Farmageddon BA Brett Saison 7.2% Funky oaky acidic aroma, tart flavor that reminds me of Rodenbach or New Belgium’s sour La Folie. Damn nice.

500ml bottle pours out a hazy straw color topped with a white. Nose is sour apple bread notes barrel and some spice. Taste is more of the sour tart notes a little barrel presents and a odd apple spice.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest, pours a cloudy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light honey sweetness and a touch of funk. Flavour is nicely balanced, with lots of pleasant hay, farmhouse funk, and rustic saison yeast. Complex and light, with a hay-like finish. Very good.
