COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A truly local beer. Brewed in the spirit of the small farmhouse breweries that were so popular in Belgium and France in the not so-distant-past. We start with a distinctly Belgian recipe with a healthy base of pilsner malt and some biscuit malt to give it a little fullness. We than add some American and Czech hops to give it a bit of spiciness, and move into our fermenters. At that point, we add in our house strain of ‘wild’ yeast which was cultured from some locally pressed cider. A little funky, and a little spicy, it’s the perfect blend of flavors for this ale. When fermentation is going full-tilt, we kick it up another notch with several pounds of honey from our local beekeeper here in Flag. This gives it a nice dryness for such a big beer and some amazingly tantalizing flowery aromas. Why go through all this effort? It’s just the right thing to do. Local is where it’s at, and one sip of this delicious beer and you’ll have no choice but to agree.

Pint on tap. Bright, honey colored translucent beer, almost opaque. No lacing or head off the tap. Strong lemon aroma, citrus-y sweet (I’m guessing that’s the honey). The taste is definitely fruity and sweet as well; it’s bitter, too, so I guess that makes it a legit farmhouse, right? Not so fast, it’s lacking something, maybe some spiciness or complexity. Hard to pin down in saisons. I think it’s a noble effort for a new brewery but I can’t rate it as well as true belgian saisons I’ve had either.

Hazy amber color, white head, some nice floral and funky flavors with some peppery bite. A really good farmhouse.

Pours a cloudy copperish/yellow color. Lots of honey, light funky yeast, floral flavors, a bit of earthyness. Great effort from a great new AZ brewery!
