12 Farm Dog

Tap to rate

Farmhouse ale with high, sparkling carbonation and a very dry finish. The taste is weak to medium in strength and carries the same elements as the aroma. The beer is cloudy, with a pretty yellow colour. By tradition such a seasonal beer was brewed for seasonal farm workers from varying grain mixtures, mostly wheat but also oats, rye or spelt. This one is brewed with barley, wheat, oat and rye malts.

◎ Appearance

A hazy golden-yellow brew with lively, sparkling carbonation that forms a delicate white head. The cloudiness comes from suspended yeast and grain particles, characteristic of the farmhouse tradition. Head retention is moderate, leaving a light trace of lacing on the glass.
