Dave's BrewFarm Saison Rhu


Dave's BrewFarm Saison Rhu. Wilson, Wisconsin.

clouded amber/ to golden  hue, solid white head, hits the right marks.

Aroma: fruit and sweet malt. A bit vegetal, a small amount funky. Incredibly intriguing. I really don't know what to say.

Taste: Bam! Fruit hits first, and it is unique. If it wasn't called "saison rhu", I might be scratching my head about it, but, yeah, rhubarb, without the intense tartness. Fruit, sweetness, minor bitterness, …damned tasty, though.

Another absolutely unique BrewFarm creation. Light malt body, low hops, some kind of funkiness, and plenty of fruit and vegetable flavor, with requisite tartness. Utterly enjoyable. Not a tiny bit cloying, ends lightly, drying. Mmmm.

Let's look at what Farmer Dave says: " 6.0 % ABV. Pils, Caramel 20 and Dingemans Biscuit malts, Santium and Vanguard hops, fermented with a blend of Belgian saison and Biere de Garde yeasts and a late addition of rhubarb puree. Crisp with a hint o rhubarb in the nose and finish."
