This could very well be one of my all time favorite beers. This saison/farmhouse ale flavored with edible flowers is absolutely delicious. Pours a brilliant golden straw color with ample clingy white head. The mouth is light and active. The nose is one of the intricate that I have ever smelled. Along with the expected floral notes there were also hints of orange, hay, leather, lemon and good old funk. In the mouth those wonderful aromas turn into flavors that all mingle nicely with a subtle sourness. AWESOME! (7.7% ABV)

Pours a blurry burnt orange with a big, fluffy white head. Nose is lemon biscuits with herbs sprinkled on top. Mouth is light and active. Flavor starts with slightly tart apple that is quickly joined by spice and honey notes. (6.5% ABV)

I was turned on to this brewery by a friend and have been intrigued by their ales ever since. Dark rust brown in color. Funky complex/complicated nose of wet hay, vinegar, cider vinegar to be exact. Thin feel in the mouth. Sour flavor with some medicinal characteristics, bitter lingering finish and after taste. This ale is not for everyone....I find it more intriguing than enjoyable. (4.3% ABV)
