Amber Farmhouse ale
This deep amber hued ale takes it's inspiration from Germany while still nodding to the Belgian farmhouse tradition. The base is comprised of German two-row wheat, Cara-Munich, and roasted barley. Generously hopped with a blend of Perle, Spalt, and Hallertau Mittelfrüh, and fermented with a rustic Belgian farmhouse ale yeast. These elements together provide a melange of earth and fruit aromas backed with hints of caramel and a dry clean finish.

It’s earthy and yeasty with some darker notes, and the beer comes together nicely, despite not quite fitting a style. It pours medium dark brown with a dissipating tan head. It has a lot of caramel and a touch of coffee/chocolate, but it also has that yeasty saison flavor. There are also lemon and good dark fruit flavors. It stays a bit sweet for a saison, but the bitter earthiness pulls it in a bit. The mouthfeel is smooth with a bit of stickiness in the finish. It’s a good beer and drinks easily.

Bottle shared by Sarah! Pours a hazy amber, some particles with a tan head that lasted throughout the beer. Aroma has notes of wheat, light malts, bread and a bit of light fruit with some spices. Flavor has more of a yeast note with bread, light fruit coming out in the finish and just a bit of caramel in the finish as well.

Served on draft at Mekong during Richmond, VA Beer Week. Pours a slightly hazy reddish color with a medium creamy head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of toffee, leafy hops and berry-like fruit notes. The taste is caramel, toffee, leafy, citrus hops, berries and some spicy notes. Medium bodied.
