This 7% ABV farmhouse ale is the first example of the style brewed in Ontario, and has been made using hops from Prince Edward County and Northumberland County barley. It is currently available on draught at Volo and will soon be available in 750ml bottles.

[1] Review by biegaman from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer once. (4/20/2006 11:07:00 AM)
"Off tap a clear golden colour, great fluffy, cloud like capping, leaves awesome lacing. Very damp smell, some candyish fruity notes in the hops, eventually yeast settles in. An equally damp, weighted mouthfeel, quite hefty, though a very dry finish?! Great carbonation, smooth almost like a CO2 can. Flavour yeasty - getting a little barnyardy. Does become 'farmhouse' like; I guess "hay" as others have coined, though I'm sure that's not the right word. Leaves no aftertaste, quite clean. Some malt comes through in the back part of the mouth. I find this a little unsettling. While I can acknowledge this as well crafted, I can't say its overly tasty. It is fairly limited, and I still have yet to be impressed by this brewer. All the same, not a bad rendition of the Biere de Garde style and glad to see it brewed, hopefully more to come! "
