7.4% ABV, 25 IBUs - This Franco-Belgian style Farmhouse Ale has an effervescent body and a light straw color. Rabbid Rabbit, with it’s light malt body, augmented by spices, is a complex and frothy beverage with a deceptively high alcohol content. March release.

Living across the Ohio River from Indiana, I come across a few of the Three Floyds beers on a regular basis but Gumballhead seems to be the only readily available TF brew to be found in the Evansville area. I found the Rabid Rabbit in Clarksville, on a sidetrip through Louisville, last weekend. This pours a hazy apricot body with a modest, offwhite head that totally disappears, without lacing, after a few minutes. A second pour, to no surprise, revitalizes the appearance.
Aroma is dominated by caramel, bubblegum, and banana pudding, not exactly what I would expect from a good Saison. Signature Three Floyds hops are not even at play here. There are some nice floral and herbal notes here which suggest the style.
Mouthfeel is medium, with an out of place syrupy sweetness. Carbonation is medium.
Taste is pleasant, and kind of unique. Hops are spicy and herbal. Good floral bitterness, and the malt presence is assertively caramel. Some hints of pepper and coriander, but this really tastes more like a modified Dubbel than a Saison. Finishes on the herbal hops bitterness side of things.
Not a true Saison, but typically a solid offering from one of the best breweries in America's Heartland. I'm certain that I will try this one again.

My second ever saisson is a much better experience. Nice white head on top of the amber/orange haze, the spice comes out stronger but not overpowering on smell and first taste. They tell me that first powerful flavor is corriander, but after a few sips, a very pleasant banana emerges. Not watery at all, this is an ale I can enjoy.

Pours a hazy golden color with an expansive frothy light tan head. The first thing I get on the nose are clove and subtle coriander aromas, and there’s some banana and bubblegum notes as well.
The coriander is really forward on the taste, which is a delightful development for me - it adds richness and character to the beer, and blends really well with the clove and banana flavors.
My concern with this beer was that Three Floyds would overemphasize the Brett, but that concern was unfounded because the mouthfeel was where a saison should be - even a saison at 7.4% ABV (can you say Imperial Saison?).

Poured into a tall clear pint glass. Lovely golden orange opaque color with a bold haze, somewhat bubbly. Thin head that dissipates quickly, little to no retention or lacing.
Aroma has many pleasant Belgian-inspired notes. Coriander, cloves, orange, banana, and yeast are the main notes that I smell. Other notes of biscuit, pear, apple, bubblegum and white pepper. Really "farmhouse."
Lots of different spices and peppers on the palette that surprises and contrasts from the aroma. Spicy and peppery on the tongue and in the aftertaste, but it does transition to milder notes of cumin, ginger, malts of grain and wheat, and candied sugar for an even balance. Alcohol is unnoticeable. Altogether spicy and malty, medium-bodied.
