A true American pale ale that combines the tradition of old world brewing with new world flavors. This provocative brew combines floral hops with American malt for a bold new ale

"This beer poured a hazey orange body with a small white head. It had aromas of citrusy fruit, fresh hops and soft pine. Taste was astringent, hoppy and piney. It was a nice beer. Suited my palate well."

"Beer has an orage-copper color with a sparkling white head and average lacing. This beer was much hopper than I expected. A good amount of malt, but definitely much more citrus hops. Finish is very bitter."

"A nice amber ale with a solid amber hue. Very little head when poured so it was nice. Taste is solid and mouthfeel is pure and smooth. A nice beer that i recommend."

"Well, so far out of the 6 Farmhouse (Coast Range) beers I've had only 1 sucked. Good ratio. So I had my fingers crossed this wouldn't be horrible and (thankfully) it wasn't. A nice malty, earthy aroma balanced with a hop attack to say was decent. Slightly dark amber in color, medium sized head. Flavors are hoppy, malty, slightly chewy but very nice and extremely drinkable. Farmhouse does another one up right. It's not extraordinary but solid."

"Yet another mess of a beer from Coast Range Brewing Company.
It would actually be workable, if they simply calmed down with the both the alpha acids of the hops used, and perhaps using some more low cohumulone hops for a change.
But like the generic "Coast Range IPA", and the not-too-terribly-different "Calcutta 420 India Pale Ale" (also from Coast Range)..., this "Farmhouse Brewing Two Tractor Ale" seems to be yet just another cheaply-made beer with relatively small amounts of extremely high AAU% hops -- in this case, of British origin, perhaps? -- with the resulting beer coming across entirelly too rough and ragged in the flavor profile, and the mouthfeel, too.
But it's not all doom-and-gloom for this beer. It isn't undrinkable, per se. It does have some semi-intersting wood (oak? cedar?) highlights here and there. And the alcohol, which I'm guessing to be in the high 5's/low 6's (ABV percentage-wise) is well-restrained. Steady head retention and lacing too.
But really, even for the bare-bones BevMo price ($2.69), this would be a hard sell for me to go down this road again. Just another so-so over-the-top, over-hopped mess of a beer from the good folks at Coast Range Brewing Company....
