Review – Anchor Zymaster # 4 Fort Ross Farmhouse Ale

Always fun to see that you have caught up to a series.  Granted only four in the Anchor Brewing Zymaster Series, but I have had all of them!  Pours a reddish orange. Nice 1/2 finger white head of foam. A crazy quilt of funk, hops and some metallic notes in the first sip.  Maybe that is the Yerba Santa?  Very earthy to me.  A little dry at the end as well.  A search finds some tea notes and vanilla in the aroma.  As it warms some rose and citrus notes start to come forth. But to me closer to a dubbel than a saison.

No book to report on currently but I am watching the Netflix series Orange is the New Black and listening to Ratchet from Bloc Party too much.
