Perhaps reinventing yourself time after time is a cornerstone of the craft beer scene. Or maybe it's the complexity behind every single beer. Interesting crossover compositions, such as a farmhouse IPA, are still rare or even unknown in this country. That's why the beer was given a striking orange painted Steinie bottle with a label printed on it.
Opened the bottle and filled the Farmer into the tasting glass, it cannot disguise the common roots to the St. Erhard season. The basis, namely the same malt body, is shared between the St. Erhard Farmer and the St. Erhard Saison. Hence the cloudy rust-brown color and the medium-pored foam. However, the content of the striking orange bottle contains four times the amount of hops, which in turn can be clearly recognized in the smell and taste. Twelve different types of malt are the basis for the bready-caramel note. With the addition of five different hop varieties, the already wide range of aromas is complemented by exotic fruit notes. The ingredients of the farmer are so diverse that the initial drink is also extremely complex. The taste of grapefruit is underlined by the pleasant malt sweetness. A hint of forest honey accompanies the strong and long-lasting hop bitterness in the finish.
This beer is definitely one of the individualists of the craft beer scene, not only because the hybrid gently harmonizes both styles.
