A farmhouse ale is a beer made by a small brewery in the Saison or Bière de Garde style. The two style only differ by one being Belgian and the other French.
This beer has a strong aroma of tart lemons, Belgian spice, and honey. The color is golden and hazy with some sediment floating in the beer. The head was very thick making the beer hard to pour, this could be a result of some difficulty I had opening the bottle or maybe an infection or just a highly carbonated beer.
The taste is sweet with some honey notes. This beer has pronounced spice flavors and some earthiness, with a slight sour taste. The mouthfeel is meduim body, effervescent with loads of carbonation. There is a slight alcohol taste to the beer which is surprising for a 6% beer. The bottle mentions this beer as dry hopped but there are no detectable hop flavors or aromas.
This is an interesting, tasty beer with lot of flavors. I suspect there are a lot of spices added to this beer. I will look for other Farm house ales.

Very cool concept. I wanted to make sure I invited you to www.democracysdrink.com (I may have already). Bloggers have been joining and promoting their blogs on our site and meeting other beer people. Hope to see you there, Cheers!
