Logsdon Farmhouse Ales Fortunate Sun Dry-Hopped Saison

 Logsdon Farmhouse Ales Fortunate Sun Dry-Hopped Saison.

5.8 % ABV. A golden-colored farmhouse ale dry-hopped with Hallertau Blanc and Mandarina Bavaria,Logsdon Farmhouse Ales, Hood River, OR. 


Clouded, bright golden he'd, slim white head. 

In the nose: Citrus and straw, light spices. Little bit of hoppiness. 

In the mouth: Clean, crisp, light and tasty. Exquisitely drinkable. Belgian yeast drives it, light hop presence keeps if fun and interesting. Flavor remains largely lemon and a slight spiciness that goes fruity and juicy for a bit, but ends on a dry note. Very bright and sunny, especially refreshing. 

This is my first encounter with this brewery, again with thanks to Dave. 

A Belgian-inspired brewery, founded in 2009 by David Logsdon on his family farm in Hood River County. David started as a founding member and brewer at Full Sail Brewing and founded Wyeast Laboratories. His passion for unique and experimental yeast helped to foster his dream of opening a traditional farmhouse brewery. We brew in the true Belgian farmhouse tradition using all organic and locally sourced ingredients. The fruity and well rounded flavor profiles of our beer can be attributed to our use of singular specialty yeast strains and many of our offerings spend time in oak barrels to impart more complex characteristics similar to that of a fine wine
