Firestone Walker Opal Farmhouse Ale
Vital Statistics
From the brewer
Bringing down the Farmhouse! Our interpretation of the rustic Wallonian Saison style is a harmonious blend of rustic grains, spicy yeast and unique sauvignon blanc tones. Inviting lemon grass and gooseberry meet peppery spice and fresh grain aromas. Spicy Belgian yeast create a complex yet dry and refreshing canvas with splashes of citrus and stone fruit with a bright tropical white wine finish. Hop bitterness is assertive yet harmonious rounding out slightly tart and refreshing.

Nice citrus well balanced with the Saison's bitterness. Would be sessionable if it wasn't this high in alcohol.
Yeast flavors give way to fruit, rounded out and backed by hop bitterness. A really well done Saison, true to style while a little edgy.
Understated saison with a slight funky yeastiness but an overall crisp freshness that was really enjoyable - artifact of the dry hopping, maybe? Anyway, another good beer from Firestone.
