On a trip to a Mizzou game, I sought out a beer from Columbia for tailgating. Since
[Logboat Brewing](http://www.logboatbrewing.com/) was pretty reliable in the past,
I grabbed their latest Saison.

 **ABV:** 5.50% **IBU:** 12 **Style:** Saison/Farmhouse Ale **Brewery Description:**“
Brewed for our 2nd anniversary, Flybye is a farmhouse ale fermented with yeast sourced
from the Wallonian region of Belgium. It has bright citrus notes and a subtle, funky
phenolic character to the aroma. The flavor is fruity citrus with a slight grain
sweetness and a crisp, dry finish.

We liked this beer so much that we decided to make it in 2017 and CAN it!!! Look
for it on shelves March – May 2017.”

This was purchased in a 6 pack of cans and drank out of a tulip glass.

**Appearance:** Poured a hazy golden orange with 2 fingers worth of white head. 
The head disappated pretty quickly and left little lacing.

**Smell:** The main smell is hearbal and grassy; there are also hints of lemon coming
through.

**Taste:** The lemon is right at the front, along with the grass and some peppery
spice. The malt is definitely more present than hops, which I liked for the style.

**Mouth:** The mouthfeel is very crisp. The pepper gives it a little bite in the
finish, but not that bitter bite from hops. The medium body is pretty easy to drink
for a while, but the carbonation is a little strong for my taste.

**Overall:** This is a solid example of a farmhouse ale. The balance is good but
it could dial down the carbonation. **Rating: 4 out of 5**

The [Beer Advocate](https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/34285/226609/) score
is 3.95 (in 7 ratings). [Untappd](https://untappd.com/b/logboat-brewing-company-flybye-farmhouse-ale/1565732)
has it as 3.71 with 1092 ratings.
