Commercial Description:
A homage to traditional European beers brewed for quenching the thirst of farm workers of "Saisonaires." A unique Belgian Saison yeast is used to impart a mixture of spice, fruity and earthy notes along with a lip smacking palatability.

The Farmhouse Ale poured beautifully into my tall pint glass with a short head that belied its fathoms of taste. The fruit and floral aromas told me more about this ale I as dove in for a taste. The golden red ale tasted differently each time as a hundred different colors came to my mind. A light sense of hops came around to remind me this was an ale and not just a glorious find. It also had a malty background, unlike other saison interpretations I have had. My hat is off to the Smuttynose Brewing Company for creating such a great ale.

a saison that didn’t offend at all. pleasantly decent, and not overdone with all of the things these beers do (thinking that people don’t have tastebuds). typically spicy and yeasty with good body. earthy is a good word. i am not a big fan of spicy saisons that are earthy. light candy citrus smoother in the flavor pattern.

Saveur: Goût de coriandre, de zestes d’orange et d’épices. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture légèrement huileuse. Moyenne effervescence en bouche. Présence d’une légère amertume en arrière goût. (Rating #953)

22oz Bomber from Pizza Plant Walker. Not as spicy as previous saisons. Perhaps a bit too cold. Sweet malts present. Nice color tasted almost more like an Alt to me rather than a saison.

Bottle: Clear golden copper color with a white head. Aroma, grassy, floral hops, some caramel. Flavor, citrus, a slight funk, yeasty, and some pale malts. Solid brew.

Pours a crisp amber color with a decent head. I could smell orange, malt and carmel on the nose. The taste is sweet carmel, malt and yeast. A rather sour finish.

Bottle sampled on 8/9/06: Slightly hazy dark golden pour has a big, nicely-lacing frothy off-white head. Lightly spiced toasty biscuity malty aroma. Body starts with a full, sweet caramel maltiness with some dry grassy earthy notes and a good, sweet, slightly warming finish. A nice saison.

(22 oz bottle) Slightly orange gold. Very small off white head with a little lace. Slightly fruity aroma. Flavor is yeast and fruit - green apples and apricot.
