Common descriptors are
Plowman’s Folly is a French-style Saison Farmhouse Ale with a crisp, white wine characteristic that is refreshing and pleasing to drink. Fermented with a special French strain of yeast, this beer presents more of a citrus character than the pepper and spice of its Belgian companions. The caramel and wheat malts create a noticeably complex taste profile in this golden ale. The aroma contains distinct white wine notes due to the addition of organic Nelson Sauvin hops from New Zealand, with further wine flavors strikingly similar to Sauvignon Blanc wines from the Marlborough Region. Its dry, crisp mouthfeel makes this 7.5% ABV beer incredibly easy to drink and enjoy. Plowman’s Folly is one of SPBC’s flagships, and it is truly a unique version of this up and coming craft beer style.
