Traditionally brewed in March (Mars), this classic French-style farmhouse ale has a warm amber hue, light caramel aroma and toasty malt and dried fruit flavors. Ours is balanced with a touch of earthy anise spice from organic baby fennel grown by Grant Brians at his Heirloom Organic Gardens in Hollister, California.

I've enjoyed both Almanac beers but feel they've both been priced far outside of the quality one receives. I really like the idea of brewing wth fennel, and the vegetable does come thru albeit in light touches and not bonking you on the head with it. Aroma is definitely phenolic and spicy, light citrus, anise, earthy and some sweetness is picked up. Flavors seem to center around earthy fruit notes, some herbal quality that coule be described as anise-like, and it finishes bready and malty. I take points off the overall due to the overpriced tag on this. It's a nice beer though. Couldn't complain about anything inside the bottle. -
