Bottle. Golden in color with a three finger head. Aroma is well balanced with mostly grains. Taste is not so good. Grains.

Pours a clear copper-gold color with a medium bone white head that recedes steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Fruit, yeast and rye aromas. Light-bodied with flavors of fruity yeast, mildly spicy rye malt and a bit of hops. The finish is wheaty and malty with a rye and yeast aftertaste. Decent overall.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Foods Plus, Plaistow NH. Appearance is hazy light brown with light sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong wheat cracker, mild caramel, fruit. Taste is light fruit with strong Pilsner-type cracker. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and lingering cracker finish. Overall, doesn't have the spiciness usually found in a rye offering. Should be "Farmhouse Wheat." One dimensional but inoffensive.

12oz bottle. Really quite a solid offering, drinks in the Grisette vein. Pale tan-brown-orange body. Foamy, glass lacing, white head. Really streamlined, smoothed out, and drinkable..which is something most brewers who are inclined to brew a Grisette aren't quite capable of. Supreme balance. Great beer.

Twist off bottle. Pale yellow. Smell is a little rye with some of gramma's old style permanent hair treatment. First let me say this is nothing like a saison, so I find the farmhouse moniker somewhat misleading. Yes, there is rye background, which almost somewhat comes across like a dull IPA. Pretty good carbonation. In the end its a rather medium rye beer that is not as offensive as most. Another decent medium mild offering of a rude style from an interesting brewery, JMHO.

Enjoyable, a nice bready and doughy malt, light but the rye gives it a nice mouthfeel. Mild hops, a touch citrus, hay.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 5/18/2018. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, pear, red apple, peppercorn, clove, wheat, spicy rye, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/spicy yeast, wheat/rye malts, and earthy hop notes; with good strength. Taste of lemon, pear, red apple, peppercorn, clove, wheat, spicy rye, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Moderate peppery yeast/rye spiciness and herbal/grassy hop bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, pear, red apple, peppercorn, clove, wheat, spicy rye, biscuit, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, wheat/rye malts, and earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and minimal astringent flavors after the finish. Moderate increasing dryness from bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a smooth, moderately crisp, and bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is good. A bit rough, but easy drinking. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.3%. Overall this is a good saison. All around good complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/spicy yeast, wheat/rye malts, and earthy hop flavors; smooth, crisp, and pretty refreshing to drink. Not very complex on the saison yeast, but well balanced between all flavors. A nicely enjoyable offering.

On tap at Grub Burger. Pours a clear orange gold with medium frothy white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is corn malt and rye. Thin body, toasted malt, rye, light finish, decent.

Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. Pours copper tinged gold with a slight white head. Mild rye aroma. Near med body. Flavor is interesting. It's rye, but it also tastes a bit of the decades old original Olympia. Flavor is actually flavorful. For 4.3% it's a pretty good, dare I say, session ale. Might not be as tasty without the rye. Pool/lake beer for sure.

Wet dog and corn aroma. Clear deep amber, thick yellow head, good lace. Corn and chemical. Medium body, easy carbonation. Very macro-ish.
