The
aroma is heartily malty and very fresh smelling, with lots of grains
and a bit of sweetness. Though listed as a farmhouse ale, this brew
doesn't share too much with the traditional boozy saison, though it is a
bit yeasty, finishes dryly, and is amply carbonated. The flavour starts
fresh and malty, with a touch of fruit flavour, before giving way to a
dry and slightly bitter back end.
MacLean's
Ales have proven pretty reliable and well made. Their Farmhouse Ale is
no different--nice, if muted, flavour, the beer is crisp and dry. I'd
have liked a bit more pop and a bit more alcohol, but it was nice ad
steady. A fine beer.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
