The ever-so-slightly ironic German Farmhouse is actually a Norwegian-inspired farmhouse ale using our own house Kveik yeast, cultured and nurtured by our head brewer JK in his Chester Fermentorium. Named for the song by The Go-Betweens and because an Alsatian fit better on the gingerbread house than a Norwegian Elkhound would.
The Kveik yeast brings lime and orange notes to the beer, with very subtle farmhouse characteristics that won’t scare off the less advernturous drinker or overwhelm hops, and it really compliments fruit-forward modern hop varieties (we’re using Kohatu and Mandarina Bavaria and Hallertau Blanc in this one).

Tap. Blonde. Peach, a hint of diacetyl and banana yoghurt in the aroma. Floral, citric notes and banana yoghurt in the flavor. Surprisingly nice, in spite of the diacetyl.

Tap at DBs. Hazy golden with big white head. Soft citrus, grainy notes, tough of bread, light yeast, soft herbs and creamy stuff. Under medium sweet and medium bitter. Bit under medium body. OK.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, spices, straw, and a bit of brett. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, brett, straw, spices, and yeast, leading to a dry finish.
