Commercial Description:
A very unique beer, earthy, slightly tart and fruity. The Xassion French Farmhouse ale is a very refreshing summer beer. It's interesting character earthy, spice, sweet-tart was inspired by "Fantome Automne" from Belgium.

Sampled on draught at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy bright yellow colour. Aroma is of lemons honey and flowers. Taste is wheaty and tart, slighty citrusy sourness. Otherwise nice beer.

Corn. There shouldn’t be corn flavor in a saison. A little sour, some wild yeast. This beer is all over the place. I love the style but this recipe needs refinement.

Draft pour from the brewpub. Hazy yellow appearance with fast dissapating head. Yeast, and malt aroma. Definite sweet honey and citrus flavor with a tart/bitter finish. A decent Saison.

Growler, courtesy of Skyview. Hazy yellow color with a thin head. Strong, bready aroma, slightly herbal. Light orange, sweet honey and herbs for the taste. A bit of a soured finish.
