French farmhouse ales are a traditional brew made to refresh farm workers during the harvest in Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium. This 2014 Summer Seasonal from Great Crescent Brewery is crafted in the same French-farm tradition. Then we add a special variety of tart Michigan-grown cherries to bring out the natural spiciness and clean finish. Just right for hot Summer weather. Cheers!

can - This brew is hugely over-carbonated with an enormous light tan head. I had to pour it in stages. It smells like a characteristic, mildly funky saison yeast. The flavor is tart with spicy yeast and a certain mild, off-tasting malty taste that doesn’t quite come together. It’s okay but probably not one I’ll be looking for again.
