Flying Fish Farmhouse Summer Ale

Brewed by Flying Fish Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Cherry Hill, New Jersey USA

12oz bottle...7-30-09....dark straw color...not much head just a skimming.....grainy aroma with a touch of fruit like orange (light).....light malts and a touch of bitter hops...easy drinkin’ on a hot day....bitter lemon/orange citric finish

Had this on tap at GABF 2009. This is really more of an American blond ale IMO. It’s very good for that style but not so great for a saison, so I’ll rate it as a hybrid of sorts. Pours a clear golden color with a fluffy white head and decent lacing. Aroma is wheat, citrus, light spice, and grain. Flavor is wheat, pale malt, grain, citrus, and light fruits. Palate is clean and crisp with fairly light body and medium carbonation. Drinkability is high since this is so light with somewhat mild flavors. Finally, let me say it again: if you’re looking for a true-to-style saison, this is not the beer for you. If you just mowed the lawn on a 90 degree day, sure, it’ll work.

citrusy and light. goes down smoothly, nothing spectacular. easy beer to drink 6 of on a hot august day. its a "cutting the grass" beer.

Golden pour no head on this one malty and citrus taste very light and easydrinking detected a little wheat flavor but thats about it ..... an average summer pounder that you overpay for cause its micro but it does the job

There is a distinct pine type flavor that I don’t like in a fresher batch. As the batch ages, that flavor dissipates and the beer is easier on the palate. It pours ver light golden and clear.

A very good refreshing summer ale from Flying Fish. Pours a beautiful golden color with a rich fluffy head. Hints or wheat, coriander and fruit. Very mild beer...could have had a bit heavier body, but finished crisp and smooth nonetheless. By the end of my glass the beer began to lose its "flavor" but still a great choice on a hot summer day.

12 oz bottle from Joe Canals. Poured a cloudy golden orange with a huge bright white fluffy head. Aroma of spice, pepper, corriander, wheat and citrus. Harshly carbonated and a thinner watery body made this one unpleasant, well that and the overwhelmingly lack of taste. Blah Ive had better tasting macros.
