Easy drinking farmhouse ale with an American twist. Notes of stone fruit, tropical fruit and bubblegum with a dry peppery finish.

On tap at Idle Hands, pours a clear blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals a great farmhouse character, light buggy but mostly just rustic, along with a crisp biscuity malt and some spicy hops in there. Flavour is definitely more farmhouse than anything, with a clean, yet pungent farmhouse character, crisp bright hoppiness, and a dry biscuity malt base. Balanced, clean, quite complex. This is frankly excellent.

Tap at Bukowsky Tavern. Hazy deep golden orange. Slightly funky, estery aroma, fruity, grapefruit, simple malt. Slightly tart, slightly estery, slightly spicy. Not bad but didnβt make much of an impression.

On tap as part of a flight at True West Brewery. Appearance is clear golden yellow with light sparkle, thin cap of creamy off-white head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong, yeasty, funky tart and cracker. Taste is strong funky hay (not really barnyard), tart and florals over late cracker. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice strength to aroma and taste and good combination of funky with malt and some hop. A bit too carbonated.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white soapy head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Earthy funk and citrus aromas. Crisp with sweet brett and lemon/lime upfront turning to earthy hops in the medium length finish.
