Commercial Description:
This French farmhouse-style ale has tart fruitiness from the yeast and a sweet maltiness from the grains. A modern re-creation of a classic European beer style to celebrate St. Louis's French heritage. Pairs well with fruits, cheeses, and cured meats. Debuted at the 2007 HOP in the City Festival Beer, unfiltered. Bottles will be filtered and then bottle-conditioned.

The pour reveals a cloudy amber color with a thin white head. The aroma is complex and very seductive, malt, spices, fruits and funk tingle my nostrils. The flavor is also very nice, a good, solid malt is joined by fruits, spices and funk, the funk doesn’t take all the place in the mouth, it’s well moderate, there’s also some sweetness. The body is medium with a nice creamy texture and the carbonation is soft. This is the first beer I sample from this brewery and I’m highly impressed.

Draught at Saint Louis Brewery Schlafly. Pours hazy amber with an average, fizzy, off-white head, somewhat lasting with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, toffee), average hops (flowers, herbs), average yeast (barnyard, earth) with notes of date and apple. Medium bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, light acidity and bitterness.

Bottle shared by someone at the Shenandoah Beer Throwdown, thanks someone!! Dark orange color, with a fizzy champagne head. Aroma is soapy, fruity, yeasty. Flavor similar, with pepper, tart, slightly tangy.

750ml bottle. Golden color with easily stirred up carbonation. Aroma has biscuit with notes of citrus and grass. Flavor was very similar to the aroma. With light biscuit, citrus and grassiness. Great to enjoy while sitting around/in the pool. Body was quenching and medium. This was the surprise of the day for me.

Big white head on a cloudy orange/amber body. Minerally, dry, dusty yeast nose, earthy toast everywhere. Peppery orange and bread crust tasted up front; soft body, smooth up front, with a bite on the back… fresh, dusty, earthy yeast throughout, tasty fruit and honey in a lingering finish. Well-made.

750ml bottle from MO. Pours a clear golden copper with a thin near white head with no lacing. Light aroma of earthly malt, fruit, and bread. Flavors hold suit to the aroma with the yeast character standing out which start subdued and build to the nice dry finish. Med light body, very lively carb,light creamy texture, and dry feel. I didn’t know what to expect from this brew, but was very happy with the result. Aroma was light and a little heavy on the carbonation, although they did not distract from the beer and even improved as the bottle sat and warmed before my next glass.
