Smuttynose Farmhouse Ale

From Smuttynose – 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.

Smuttynose Brewing – Smuttynose Farmhouse Ale – 22 oz. bottle poured into a goblet. 9.3% abv.

Appearance: Pours a burnt orange with no head and no visible bubbles.

Aroma: Perfumy yeast, pepper , tart apple.
