There was a time in old-world France when nearly every family farm had its own brewery. It was a necessary part of farm life to provide a ration of beer to the laborers, as beer was safer to drink than plain water. Farm Hand is our interpretation of what these rustic farmhouse beers must have been like. Brewed with Michigan-grown wheat, we leave this beer unfiltered and rustic to accent the natural lemon-citrus tartness from our fermentation process. This beer is easy drinking for any occasion, but reveals layers of complexity for those who wish to discover them.

Very creamy. But later on, fruity. Strawberries. Ice cream. Nice stuff! Cherry?

Draft at Vivant. Pours a clear gold with a finger of white foam. Straw, mineral, pear and herbal aromas. Similar notes on the palate with a slight spicy, peppery finish. Good carbonation.

On tap at Brewery Vivant, pours a clear pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out farmhouse notes, a bit of rustic saison yeast, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is dry and rustic, with a nice spicy saison yeast character and crisp biscuity malt to back. Nice use of the saison yeast, with not too many esters. Good stuff.

Pours cloudy straw into a shaker. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Hay, marshmallow and funk aromas. Soft watery yeast and mild citrus front to back and into the medium length finish.

At Hopishop 2016. Aroma of dry yeast and grass. Taste has dry yeast, some grassyness and a thin body. Boring.
