Farmhouse Ales were originally brewed as “Provision Beers” by farmers in Belgium and France, brewed in the winter months to be consumed during hot summer work days. They were traditionally brewed light and refreshing to aid in both hydration and energy. Wheat and Pilsner malts were used to lighten up the body of this Mad Hatter version. It was also fermented hot with a strain of Belgian Saison yeast to develop flavors of green apple, pepper and fresh cut hay. Brewed for Hatter Days!

Bomber. Pours a light amber color. Thin white head leaves some nice lacing. Aroma is a bit of funky yeast and floral hops. Taste is same with some malt and faint lemon citrus. Pretty good, but not their greatest.

Hazy amber beer, almost cloudy. Decent size white head. Palate is crisp and semi dry. Seltzer minerals. Very light sourness with a trailing edge of bitter minerals. It’s cut through with mildly bitter fresh grapefruit. Carbonated bite in the finish. Refreshing.

From a 22 oz bottle at home. Pours an almost clear copper with a big frothy head. Fruity hop aroma. Metallic taste.

22 oz. bomber, $4.99 at Binny’s, June ’12. Pours a hazy honey color in my smallish goblet. Foams mostly coagulates around the edges. Quite a strong smell of alcohol considering its "basic" abv. Malty farmhouse taste is wrapped in hop bitterness, I think there’s some fresh hops involved, too. Should very much be in the saison wheelhouse. Claims of funk may be overstated, but there some nice spiciness from yeast and warm ferment. No reason not to like.

Bottle at the Funky 8, Brooklyn, NYC. Pours copper-gold with a small, white head. Interesting beer, some citrus, funky yeast character, moderate bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes with fair hop bite and citrusy fruits. Well balanced. Very decent beer on the whole.

Smells remarkably like floral soap. Don’t know whether this odor is good or bad. Tally ho! After a slew of subpar beers, a surprise helps turn things around! Farmhouse Hatter is quite the interesting beer, not a stunner, but with enough curiosities to keep me occupied for a while. It pours with the best of them, a gorgeous gold with a huge, fluffy white head that leaves lace with reckless abandon. Tastes solid, with more of a Belgian slant than that of a strong American IPA. The soap thing comes through, but the finish is bitter and yeasty and with a slowly evolving tang. Like I said, curious, and not in a bad way.
