Bison Farmhouse Ale

Thanks Santa! Slightly hazy gold, white head. Nose is doughy malt, yeast, some hoppiness, a bit of lemony funk. Flavor is bready malt, a hint of lemon, yeast, lots of breadiness towards the end. Nice & dry but still somehow cloying - its very odd, there is fruit & bread but great dryness too.. Maybe some bubblegum/german hefe characteristics in the finish. Odd.

English pale ale aroma - slightly tannic, pale malt, yeasty, tart fruit. Excellent, excellent, painted label on a bomber. Golden, lighlty misted brew with a webby-beady slightly off-white head. Lemony, a little peppery, light to moderate sweetness, light astringency, some phenols or other chemicals in the flavor mix. Medium body, lemon zest in the finish. Good, different, it’s a style that’s sometimes technically good but unenjoyable, but this is decent.

This one noted "2006 Reserve" on the bottle. Light bronze appearance with decent mix of cream and foam head. Mild uric acid yeastiness wafts off the glass along with light dashes of pepper. Flavor is strongly sour and acidic, in fact, unpleasantly so. Wheat and yeastiness are overwhelmed. Soapy notes materialize on the finish. While this might be true to traditional style, it is not a Saison I would readily try again or recommend.

Pours a cloudy light orange with a lasting white head and lacing. Aroma is lightly sweet with dough, citrus, spices and some grass. Flavor is more of the same only in a larger scale. Finishes abruptly and tart. Medium bodied, sticky texture.

Golden in color with a moderate fluffy head. The aromas were herbaceous with a bunch of dill showing through. In the mouth it starts off fine but quickly fades leaving little flavor.
