Dec 23, 2008 16 ounce can
**Aroma / Appearance** - Foamy head raced to the top of the glass before settling into a clear bronze body. Black pepper, sweet malts, wheat, and assertive hops form a very sharp picture of what is to come. It is not as aggressive as an IPA but still makes its presence known.
**Flavor / Palate** - Pepper, malt, and wheat surge across the tongue. Lightly bitter it is not harsh at all. The finish is almost peachy but not quite. Warming at times it is a nice sessionable ale (if such a thing is possible from a 6% ABV beer). I could see sharing a pitcher of this with friends at the pub.

Dec 18, 2008 Golden beer with thin head. Some fruit and tiny bit of spice in aroma. Surly manages to get the farmhouse aroma just a bit. Flavor is much the same. The farmhouse idea comes through more clearly. Definitely nice rounded body. Solid beer.

Dec 17, 2008 ill be damned. A golden yellow beer with a thin white head that has a faint farmhouse aroma and a fruity, spicy taste. Lively carbonation and a decent bit of hop bitterness. This is a solid beer for sure.

Nov 30, 2008 12 oz can acquired in trade with theisti. Pours a deep gold color with a 1/2" white head. A little bit of lace , but it doesn’t stay. Aroma is yeast and spice. Taste is yeasty and spicey also. Could be a little stronger. Flavor and aroma are to faint. As other raters have mentioned, could use more funk.

Nov 26, 2008 Updated: Mar 9, 2009Strong yeast-dominated aroma. Clear amber gold, white head, some lace. The yeasty front blends with floral hops, building to a very tasty point in the middle, then fading to a slightly fruity (apricot) finish. Slightly thin bodied, but lively.
