A farmhouse ale brewed with locally malted barley fermented with our mixed culture of house yeast and bacteria for a dry and pleasingly tart beer with a soft character from the addition of raw spelt. A beer from the fields, meant to be drank in the fields.

500mL capped bottle. Orange gold color. Small but long lasting head. Aroma is buggy, swear and slick, and orange marmalade. Full of Bretts, bugs and wildness with a fruit malt making you think there is more to work with. Flavor however is empty. The bugs have eaten too much away and did not leave much for fun. Faintly bretty with some thick fruity malt. Finishes light sigh not much of an aftertaste.

Bottle at home I trie to drink only new England brews during Pats games if I can. Cloudy yellow with green tinge and big white head. Nose is lemons and yeast. Tastes of lemongrass, yeast, trace of malt, straw. Very dry light fruit on finish. Touch watery palate.

Draught at Lord Hobo, 7/10/15
Not going to go too much in to this one, as it’s similar to Batch 3 (I didn’t have batches 1 or 2) but does indeed make good on their purpose to use a paler base malt to put more focus on the yeast/bacteria and hops. It’s less grainy, less given to the spelt AND importantly, dosent seem to have as much of the heavy cereal character on the finish. I really enjoyed it (and also thought I was crazy, since I didn’t realize it was a new batch) and am happy to see a brewer adjusting the recipe much to the best.
The hops are more apparent, providing a lovely spiciness and very light citrus character. A bit more sweetness in this one, though it’s still near bone-dry; perhaps just a bit more soft malt character, actually. Very good, excited for more from these guys.
