Saison-Style Ale
A true “taste of place” of our farm, with unique flavors of bubblegum and black pepper followed by a silky mouthfeel, light rye spice, and grassy malt finish.
Our well is right next to the brewery, the hops come from the yards that are a stone’s throw away to the north and west, and the barley was grown right next to the hop yard. The yeast is from our friends at Omega Labs in Chicago and our goal is to evolve this beer to be 100% estate grown (yeast included).

Can at Power Beer Fest, 5/14/22. Clear, peachy-golden with a small, white head. Maybe a touch of chill haze. Kind of a lot more intense ester than I'd prefer, including mild banana, and also light clove and heavy white pepper phenol. Malts seem rather thin with white dough being quite sparse. Otherwise clean. Same ester/phenol intensity. Just too much heavy fruit incorporating light banana ester and way too much pepper. It's not a disaster or anything, and there's moderate malt character to add body, but this just feels so lackluster/blase and stereotypical American saison.
