Minhas Lazy Mutt Farmhouse Ale

Brewed by Minhas Craft Brewery
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Monroe, Wisconsin USA

Light yellow and quite cloudy. Cold bottle. Very little aroma in a regular pint glass. Mouth is full and kind of soft. Bread and sour are the predominant flavors with perhaps a little citrus. This beer is an ok lawnmower beer a bit more interesting than the average American premium ale.

11.6 oz bottle (why not give me 12?) Heavily carbonated with a crisp mouth feel. I’d prefer it to have a smoother feel. Tastes of grain/bread and light citrus but does not linger.

12oz bottle. Served right out of the tall beer fridge and served in a small snifter. Lemon and grassy hops are dominant in the aroma with a backing of light pils malt, maybe a hint of candi sugar. There is an omnipresent sourness or tartness that seems a bit out of place. Initial taste is sweet, lightly kilned malt, some sort of slight adjunct, some fresh citrus, and a slight spice. Citrus persists into the finish. It’s certainly a refreshing beer and somewhat tasty. It seems like a saison with out the saison yeast. I appreciate the attempt here, but why not shoot for an authentic farmhouse ale?

I read Farmhouse Ale on the lable but in reality it’s realy crappy wheat beer. At least thats the closest thing I could think of. Don’t waste your money on it.

Pours a pale yellow with a fluffy head. Aroma is sour, a bit funky at first, but settles. There’s also some grain, some corn, some grass. Taste is bready, very earthy. Also watery. Light body, lots of carbonation, but overall kind of disgusting.

Poured Cloudy yellow with no head. Grainy aroma. Taste - citrus and malt with a cloying sweetness. Not very good in my opinion.

Bottle. Grainy, grassy, sweet malt liquor nose. A little sticky metal, less citrus. Dirty straw pour, big creamy white head with good duration and retention. Light body with pale malt. Cloying taste, thin and corny with husky grain and easing off into a bready taste. Crisp carbonation but it spends its load too quickly. Light perfume, some old, rotting fruit, and a whole lot of turn-offs. Not exactly clean.

Pours golden with lots of carbonation and white head. The aroma has pale malt, creaminess, corn and light spice. Medium / light body that unlikely slick with moderate carbonation. The flavor starts off fair with aroma traits, but then there is artificial sweetener aspect that kicks in. While this is not totally revolting, it’s not really pleasant either. I’ll probably just save this for non-beer geek friends.
