Heavy Petal Farmhouse Ale by Mike's Brewery is a captivating IPA-style beer that takes you on a flavorful journey. Hailing from New Zealand, this beer boasts an alluring hazy golden-amber hue with a fluffy white head that lingers, enticing the senses. The aroma is an effervescent bouquet of ripe tropical fruits, including mango, pineapple, and passionfruit, complemented by notes of citrus, orange peel, and lemon zest. Underlying herbal and earthy undertones of hay, straw, and wildflowers add depth, while a hint of barnyard funkiness adds a delightful complexity. On the palate, the beer delivers a smooth and refreshing entry, with a burst of tropical fruit flavors that are balanced by a moderate tartness from the wild yeast strains. Citrus and floral notes dance across the tongue, providing a captivating interplay of flavors. The earthy and grainy backbone lends structure and depth, while the mild funk and bitterness add subtle layers of complexity.
