This is like a noble ipa if one could exist. Yet farmhouse yeast comes through. Strong noble hop aroma. Yeast flavor with hop noble balance. Sweet flavor enjoyable. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Sample at CBC 2013. Hazy golden colour with a white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, fruit, yeast, oak and spicy notes.

Big beer in a big bottle. Pours cloudy straw yellow with a large white head. Aromas of yeast, citrus, malt. Good balance and the hops really hit on the finish.

Bottle from Holiday Wine Cellar. A hazy orange-gold brew pours out with a nice fluffy head on top. It has a fruity and funky aroma; a bit green, with grassy and leafy hops, and some yeast. The flavors are slightly tart; citrusy, crisp hops, yeasty, barnyard funk, and an underlying herbal character throughout. There’s some sturdy malt I didn’t pick up in the scent but it’s still easy and refreshing going down. Bitter and bready in the finish; the noble hops with a farmhouse like beer is interesting. There’s quite a bit going on here for a beer clocking in at less than 6% alcohol. Very good.

Frothy but fleeting head. Cloudy wheat farm sunset. Hopped up hayloft yeast aroma...sweaty and sweet like a barnyard rendezvous. The taste is crisp and sour with hops but has a very clean finish. One might even bypass water for a gulp of this refreshing beer after a tough day of bailing. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Spunky orange with a nice head that fades quickly to a nice white cap. Aroma of a pleasant barn just filled with hay. Pleasant shot of hops accenting the wild yeasty palette. Smooth yet strong. Like getting punched with a velvet boxing glove. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours a slightly hazy rich golden color with a big three white finger foam that fizzles and sticks. The nose has some rustic grain, fresh hay, toothpaste and braeburn apple. The palate follows the nose with some aspects being traditional and focused dry pepper, crisp biscuit malts and a dry dusty finish. That being said there is still a minty burn that is disjointed from the rest of the palate and almost gets overly spicy with pepper bordering on cinnamon followed by a big grassy bitter finish.

Draft. Pours hazy yellow with large white head. Aroma of strong herbal, grassy, and spicy hops. Light body with malt sweetness upfront and a light spicy hop finish.

Bottle @ home. Pours lightly hazy orange with a medium, frothy white head, medium to short retention with spotty lacing. Aroma is earthy, spicy, and minty hops with straw and biscuit malt and light peach esters. Flavor is moderate hops and bitterness, light supporting malt and fruity fermentation esters, and a dry finish. Light body and medium carbonation.

Copenhagen Beer Celebration. Tap, 040513. Amber with small head. Aroma sour with spices. Flavour with some malt, caramel and yeast
