Commercial Description:
A tribute to the highly drinkable ""every day"" beers from French-speaking Belgium. Contains Belgian two-row pale malt and 7% wheat. This beer is lightly filtered with an earthy, spicy hop character from imported Styrian Goldings hops and a beautiful rich creamy head from the wheat. Dry quenching finish achieved by use of the traditional sour mash process

Just didn’t do much for me, and I have no idea why I returned to FF. Poured pretty dark color for a "farmhouse ale," and had nothing farmhouse-like about it. Just another amber ale with a mild showing in the hop category, somewhat like an ESB. Carmel malts dominated, but it had a slightly bitter punch at the end. I think they missed the mark entirely on this style.

Draft. Pale hazy yellow, decent head. Citrus aroma. Notes of orange and lime on the palate, a bit sweet, but light bodied. Very citrusy. Not a saison particularly, but a decent beer. Probably the best thing I’ve tried from Flying Fish.

08.05.04 12oz bottle. I’ve had lots of this this summer. Pours a clear golden yellow with average, fading head. Aromas are light, citrus, some spice. Palate is wet and refreshing, more spice, reminds of a wit. Finishes on a sour note, acidic, refreshing. A quaffable summer beer, but nothing amazing.

Clear golden-yellow body with a clean sudsy white head. Lightly aromatic nose of pear-like esters and pale doughy malt. Flavor is semi-dry with light tartness and gentle spicy bitterness. Light-bodied palate. Much too clean to be a world class saison in the modern sense, but a decent, refreshing session beer with some modestly pleasing character.

Bottle. Dusty, dry, malty, slightly catty aroma. Minerally. Yellow-golden, clear pour with strong carbonation and a large, fizzy white rocky head. Taste is extremely dry and dusty with a bit of a crispy cracker overtone. Lots more mineral water. Light body, dry and a touch unrelenting, a really nice American take! Have to get used to its character.

If you can try this cask-conditioned, don’t miss it. Tasted very fresh, soft, and clean. Soft floral flavors were indicate of plenty of hops. Hop aftertaste lingered. Extremely drinkable. Light cloudy yellow color.

Bottle: Clear yellow gold color with a very small white head. Aroma, spice, floral hops, pale malts. Flavor, light malts, some sweetness, spice, a little musty on the finish.
