COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Every year the brewers of Indiana do a replicAle (everyone uses the same recipe and ingredients) and brings it to the Microbrewer's Fest and this was our version. It's a farmhouse Belgian Saison ale. A farmhouse beer means that you've used whatever ferments were available to you, therefore the recipe contains Shagbark hickory syrup made only in Trafalgar, Indiana. It's fruity and medium bodied with the familiar tart character contributed by the Belgian yeast.

UPDATED: OCT 22, 2007 On Tap @ the Brewpub. Pours a slightly darkened orange with little head. Smells a little of fruit, wood, and a small amount of sweetness. Medium bodied with a tart sweetness that gives way to a more natural, dry woody aftertaste. I chose this while my buddy had the ESB (which was also nice) but I’m glad I went with this instead as I have a fondness for Saisons. Pretty damn good.

Draft at Broad Ripple. Nice orange color that carries through a bit in the flavor. Slightly tart and dry start gives way to a chewy, syrupy and woody taste. Not much head to speak of. Finished nice and peppery. After going through all of their samplers, this was the beer I had for a full pint before closing.
