We love all kinds of farmhouse ales. But the original farmhouse ales weren’t big beers - they were beers you could drink while working in the hot sun all day. Our 1/2 ale reaches back to that tradition - it’s a dry, hoppy, citrusy, and delicious saison all at 3.4% Alc. By Vol. In fact, you CAN have everything.

It is not a bad beer, pleasant during the summer, watery and almost no hop but there is a refresing taste of orange skin, sour, 06.04.2016, buying it at one closed beer shop, Paris, rue de Charonne, drinking it at Lausanne, Prélaz.

Bottle at home. Aroma is floral, bubble gum, fruity citrus, bit soapy, with spicy and hoppy notes. Flavour is light to moderate sweet and light bitter. Body is light. Not bad.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy yellow colored brew with an slightly dry bitter taste, slightly hints of lemon and some spices. So i tried an original Saison brewed in Brooklyn, New York.

Tastes good. One of the better saison / ales I've ever had... it's the only one I've had, but I want more.

33cl bottle. Poured a hazy straw colour with a frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is malty, saison yeast, grassy citrus, fake sugar, mineral. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter with a light, watery, crisp, light dry hop bitter palate. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation.

355ml bottle from NYC Grill, Darlington. Hazy golden colour, white foamy head and fruity yeasty aroma. Taste is pale malt and zesty citrus, yeasty. Thin mouthfeel, light bodied, spritzy carbonation, dry tangy finish. Quite OK
