Firestone Walker Brewing Company
Opal Farmhouse Ale
A lovely farmhouse. Not over the top yeasty. Can't really taste hops. Clean and refreshing.

Dec 9th, 2015Bright spicy phenolics of orange peel, ginger, pepper, coriander. Light, high carbonation, dry but with a lingering spicy sweetness. This is an obvious attempt to clone Saison Dupont, but doesn't really contribute anything novel. While a solid product, as a consumer, it confuses me why I would buy this over the original. Just to support local? Nah, not enough.
