Farmhouse Ales have a strong
popularity and continue to grow. The Farmhouse ale is an old world style that
originally brewed in winter. To be consumed trough out the summer. The
Farmhouse or Saison generally are a complex style, and many have very fruity aromas
and flavors with earthy yeast tones and mild to moderate tartness. I have had
my share of farmhouse ale but never one with a fruit add. This one, Terrapin
Beer Co., Maggie’s Peach Farmhouse Ale, 5.3% ABV, comes to me via Brewpublik (www.Brewpublik.com). Terrapin is out of
Athens Georgia. Maggie’s pours a very light orange and yellow color with a hazy
to it, and an almost two finger head that bubbles away kind of slowly. Aroma is
not as peachy as you might think it to be but there is a subtle yet faint peach
aroma with some yeast notes. Taste is like what you get on the aroma not much
peach flavor, but what I did get was okay and there is some spiciness with
slight yeast notes that make it taste more along the lines of an apricot than a
peach. The mouth feel is light with a
juicy feel, and this beer finish with a nice tartness. Aftertaste is fruity
with some peach/apricot that fades away after settling for a while. This is
Farmhouse ale isn’t bad but the peach flavor could have been stronger. I give
this a B. I would like this to have more of a full peach flavor to it. It is
quit drinkable and yet refreshing. I enjoyed this and would have it again as
well as recommend that you try Terrapin Beer Co., Maggie’s peach Farmhouse Ale.
Cheers! Please enjoy responsibly!
