Brooklyn 1/2 Ale
We love all kinds of farmhouse ales. But the original farmhouse ales weren’t big beers - they were beers you could drink while working in the hot sun all day. Our 1/2 ale reaches back to that tradition - it’s a dry, hoppy, citrusy, and delicious saison all at 3.4% Alc. By Vol. In fact, you CAN have everything.

Aroma is pleasantly citrusy. Taste is slightly spicy, lemony with some vegetables and a hint of sourness. Dry and bitter. Finish on a non lasting soft bitterness. Light body, watery texture and soft carbonation. Meh...
from Coop - light hazy dark blond beer with a poor head retention; aroma of spices and fresh fruits; moderate malt backbone; light sourish, dry and bitter; subtle carbonation; more herbs, spices and tropical fruits in the finish

Sehr leicht samtiger Farmer mit Session Charakter. Nice Starter ohne viel Firlefanz. Watery Finish inklusive. Hat ja auch nur 3,4 Umdrehungen ;). 0,1/1,50. Bottle. BRAUKUNST LIVE 2017.
Tap. Hazy golden body with white head. Aroma is nice cucumber dill and herbs. Taste is nearly the same. Aftertaste is slighty sour. Funny one
This is indeed a farmhouse ale, a beer that is light and mild. Yet it is tasty and both hoppy and a little citrusy. A good fun summer beer.
330ml bottle. Hazy yellow with one finger white head. Aroma is dill and crayfish (as expected with the srorachi ace), citrus and light saison yeast. Taste is similar with the dill and crayfish notes dominating but nicely accentuated by light citrus, saison yeast and a very light dry maltiness. Light and dry mouthfeel and medium carbonation.
Bottle, 330 ml. Big, frothy head. Slightly opaque, light yellow. Aromas of hay, plastic or detergent. Strange... Taste is also a bit strange and perfumed. Not to my liking, I am afraid. Or a bad bottle?
Bottle from local Deen supermarket. Pale yellow / golden with a medium white soapy head. Light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Nice bitterness with subtle sweet tones. Citrus, sorachi hops, malts, yeast and some caramel. Very nice sessionable brew, could drink these all night.
Flaska från Ica. Ljust gul med vitt skum. Lätt fruktig doft med citrus. Lätt i smaken med lite citrus.
Tasted 2016-12-30. Pours pale yellow, cloudy and with a small white head. Tangerine is overpowering in the aroma. Mild tasting. Not much bitterness, but some. Fairly balanced and very easy to drink. Very good session ale.
33cl bottle from Home Bargains.
Thin white head. Very hazy golden pour. A refreshing brew. Good for the ABV.
Bottle at In De Wildeman. Cloudy star with a white head. Aroma of big citrus with light peppery yeast, peach and soft herbal notes behind. Flavour is above light sweet and moderate bitter. Above light bodied with light carbonation.
Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy yellow colored brew with an slightly dry bitter taste, slightly hints of lemon and some spices. So i tried an original Saison brewed in Brooklyn, New York.
