Commercial Description:
This delicious farmhouse ale is named for our Jack Russell, who struck by a car, bounced back in fine tenacious Jack Russell fashion, and is brewed for those of us who knocked down, have picked up, dusted off and carried on undaunted. Golden, naturally cloudy, bottle conditioned and dry hopped for a perfectly refreshing balance of spicy malts, hops and yeast. Please enjoy our beers in good health, And look both ways when crossing the street!

Bottle marked 280/281. Large white foamy head over a hazy yellow body with large particles. Nose is nice funk, bleu cheese, barnyard, cobwebs. Flavor is funky, hint of vegetable, spice. Nice lively mouth.

Bottle pours hazy golden with a big white head. Aroma is lemony, yeasty, and light spice. Flavor is much the same wih a little lemon, and a bit of breadiness.

12oz bottle from Total Beverage. Pours hazy yellow gold with massive white head. Aroma is malty, yeasty, lemon, and clove. Flavor is light with citrus, yeast, malt, and light fruits. Palate is light and refreshing. High carbonation and a good easy drinker. Pretty good brew.

On draft at xnoxhatex’s wedding reception, man that was awesome! Pours a light hazy peach color with a thick white sudsy froth. Aroma is lightly malty, yeasty, lightly fruity, touch of funk, maybe some vanilla. Flavor follows aroma but is definitely more delicate and lighter, yeasty, super refreshing, light funk. Light bodied with nice sparkling carbonation, very easy drinking and refreshing.

Pours a hazy straw colour. The head is white, large, and laces well. Aroma is quite tart, lots of Brett in here. Oranges, cherry skin, lemons and that good old barnyard funk. The taste is very citrusy and tart. Lemon, lime, grapefruit, grass, sour cherries, and a little wheat twang. Mouth feel is quite nice. Overall I found this one much like the La Roja, very enjoyable, but just a little too simple to get super high marks.

Bottle. Batch 299/300. Pours a hazy yellow-gold, with a lacy white head. Nose is straight up brett, with notes of salty lemons, orange rind, horseblanket and stale hops. Yeast, wheat, and orange/coriander notes, along with a prevailing dry lemon character best describe the palate. Mouthcoating due to some obvious wheat, dry, slightly spicy, sour finish, with plenty of bretty horseblanket. A nice, sour version of Saison, very tasty, but I was expecting more complexity.

Bottle, 75 cl - Hazy golden orange beer with a large frothy head. Aroma is fresh malty with notes of citurs, grassy hops and sour red berries. Flavor is dry malty with notes of green apples and unripe plums. Very refreshing dry beer!

bottle 9.99 into snifter (batch 324/325). Really hazy yellow/orangish color with not much of a white head t all (4.5 abv... whats up here?). One of the best saison aromas I have ever smelled - the typical citrus, clove, and wheat aroma with a nice vanilla quality and a good brettish yeast note to boot. The flavor is pretty much the same. Lot more brett than I expected given the non-mention of Brett in the ratings I read. I am not a saison guy, but I dig this one because of the brett. Nice refreshing easy going summer beer with a light dry sharp finish. Medium to lite body with medium carbonation
