Jul 3, 2007 Poured an orange-tinted amber color with a decent initial head, large bubbles/foam, not thick and fluffy, though, lacing ok. The aroma was cloves, wheat, a little farmhouse funk. Flavor was wheaty farmhouse funk, some undescript spices, strong pepper finish, slight grass underneath. Some degree of acidity and astringency in the aftertaste that detracted from where this beer was going. Mouthfeel light, acidic.

Jul 3, 2007 Pours a murky, deep yellow, almost amber color. Aroma reminds me of opening a box of Quaker oats and inhaling. Not neccesarily a bad thing, just not my favorite in beer. Seems to be slight amounts of citrus and some spice, I get pepper for some reason. Flavor is light and fairly one dimensional, but the finish is strong. Decent.

Jul 3, 2007 22oz bomber from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Murky orange-red body with virtually no head. Citrusy-piney hops dominate the aroma with hints of caramel malt. Citrusy-piney hops are prominent in the flavor too, with citrus and husky graininess playing a role too. Flavors I’d usually associate with the style fade into the background. Somewhat aqueous in the mouthfeel, but still on the lighter side of medium bodied. An okay beer, but reminds me more of an APA than a saison...

Jul 1, 2007 Oh god this was a horrid creation of a beer. It smells like sweaty undies, band aids, mold, and condoms. There is some plastic nastiness in there. A murky yellowish orange color with a soapy head. Some citrus exists with some strange funk and more plastic flavor. This beer is just off from beginning to end. The only farmhouse aspect I gather is that the goat on the bottle took a dump in the beer.

Jul 1, 2007 Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, white, mostly diminishing. Body is hazy dark yellow, unfiltered. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (toasted grain), moderately yeast (dough, basement, cobwebs), with notes of pepper, clove, plastic, sour urine. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, unclean. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The sad part here is that there seems to be potential...it has its heart in the right place and is going in the right direction, but dang it, there are some unwholesome odors and an off aftertaste that bring it all down. It’s not a total wash; these aspects are not in the forefront (well, at least until it warms up), but they are still hard to ignore.

Jul 1, 2007 Pours a cloudy yellow color with a healthy white head. Aroma of yeast, barley and some pine. Smooth taste of yeast, wheat, barley. A little bitter on the back end. Overall, a wonderful summer beer. A great reward after mowing the lawn in the summer sun.
