Prairie Standard

This is a hoppy farmhouse ale from Prairie Artisan Ales. It is 5.2% ABV. The bottle shows a cartoon drawing on "How to Noodle" which is catching catfish by hand. It is my understanding that Prairie are tenant or gypsy brewers based out of Oklahoma. They do not have their own brewery, but go and brew themselves at other breweries. This bottle was brewed and bottled at Krebs Brewing Company in Krebs, Oklahoma.

The beer pours a crystal clear golden orange in color. There is a tall, fizzy, foamy white head. The aroma is very floral, herbal and yeasty with a slightly sweet underpinning. The taste is floral, lots of marigold and geranium, setting on a base of unobtrusive toasted malt, with tones of lime and tonic. The finish is dry and it has a tingly carbonation. The aftertaste is moderately bitter and limey. This is very refreshing and a nice take on the farmhouse style.
