Light fruit up front, mild funk, with a nice biscuit malt and mild spice in the finish

6 / 9 (bar / 6-pack)

Overall Impression:
Some people have referred to this is a Belgian Farmhouse Ale, but in my opinion, it lacks the spiciness, intensity, and complexity to qualify as such.  It IS a nice refreshing summer ale, and it is very sessionable,  Yet another solid offering from Flying Fish!
