Prairie 'Merica

This beer uses one malt, floor-malted pilsner, and one hop, Nelson Sauvin, along with Prairie's farmhouse yeast.  It is from Prairie Artisan Ales of Oklahoma. Prairie are tenant brewers, they do not have their own brewery, but go and brew themselves at other's facilities, which from every bottle I have seen is the Krebs Brewing Company in Krebs, Oklahoma. 

The beer pours a cloudy lemon curd yellow, with a tall, white, meringue-like head of foam. The aroma is yeasty, floral, lots of geraniums and marigolds, along with round and fruity Chardonnay notes. The taste follows the aromas, with passion fruit, melon and buttery, oaky Chardonnay notes really dancing. This is like mixing a very yeasty farmhouse ale with a good Chardonnay. The result is very nice. It is intensely and finely carbonated, finishing dry and fairly bitter, very refreshing.
