Was lured by the "Farmhouse" description on the label, and was expecting a Saison-style ale. Reviewing as an American Blond Ale (per BA).

Aroma is fruity and sweet. Low grainy malt aroma. Somewhat underwhelming. Appearance is golden and hazy. White head fades quickly to a stable thin layer on top of the beer. Sweet grainy malt dominates the flavor. Low hop bitterness just enough to prevent cloying sweetness. Some fruity esters, low citrus and some apple and pear. Body is light and refreshing, with medium-high carbonation. Very drinkable overall. Annoyed by the "farmhouse" description, which is usually associated with the Saison style. Good example of an American blond, but not a style I'll return to very often.
