Epic by name, epic by nature, this Farmhouse Ale is a transcontinental fusion of Belgium’s eclectic beer culture and the feisty hops of North America brought to life with the aid of West Country artisanal brewing wizardry and judicious use of the US-grown Sorachi Ace hop.

Old rating from 11-01-16 - 330ml Bottle. Pours a pale orange body with a creamy, off-white head that settles as a fully lasting layer, good lacing. Aroma is tangerine, banana and Belgian yeast. Taste has peppery hops with citrus, orange and spicy. Aftertaste has a mild bitterness with citrus & peppery spice. Overall a very enjoyable beer

Bottle. Clear golden body with a small white head. Aroma is fruity hops, but more like tropical fruits than expected from Sorachi Ace (e.g. no bubble gum aroma). Nice saison flavor, spicy yeast, pepper and slightly farmhouse funk. Nothing mind blowing but sure a nice and easy drinkable, almost classic Saison.

Thin feeble head on an unclear dark golden still body. Herbal & chalk aroma. Medium bodied, nicely carbonated with a soft back. Muted tastes of herbal, yeast, chalk, berry & a bitter citrus back.

Bottle, medium long lasting fluffy head, quite hazy and a touch palish orange color, aroma of yeast, toothpaste, ripe oranges and some minerals. Flavor of ripe oranges and herbs with some yeast and minerals, smooth medium herbal bitterness. Very good summer saison.

330 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5%. Nearly clear pale golden colour, moderate white head. Aroma of spicy saison yeast, lemongrass, tangerine and a hint of dill. Citric mouthfeel. The flavour is medium dry, with citrus, mild spices and moderate but noticeable bittering hops.
