Originally brewed on the June Solstice of 2012 with our Danish friends Peter Sonne of Flying Couch and Christian Skovdal Andersen of Beer Here, this Farmstead® amber ale pays tribute to those early years and their continuing friendship. We have created this new iteration to honor that deep and abiding connection.
Admin Note: Beginning in 2019, Sankt Hans was aged in oak puncheons (as opposed to stainless, prior). Check the year on your bottle to determine which you have.

Big Panda split at L6 Tasting, thanks to Kenneth, 22/03/23. Almost clear orange amber topped with an off white head. Nose is tarte fruit esters, orange peel, herb, funk, hedgerow. Taste comprises tangy fruits, apple core, funk, herb, straw, grains, barnyard nip, trace of yeast. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a tangy vinous edge. Not bad.

2022. Medium amber, slight haze, with a medium head. Bretty, with some biscuity notes, with a fair bit of wood character. Soft body with low carbonation. Bretty and woody, some apple notes, apricot. The wood tannins and brett bring about dryness, though there is some residual sweetness and light esters.

2022 vintage. 750mL bottle, pours a clear amber with a small white head. Aroma is complex, with lots of funky brett, plenty of oak, and toasted bready malt. Flavour is wonderfully complex, with lots of buggy brett, plenty of oak, rustic notes, and toasted bready malt. Really fantastic yeast expression and the oak really propels this. Excellent.
