Farmhouse tasting

Our homebrew American Farmhouse ale and Commons Brewery Urban Farmhouse ale.

Ours has a great spicy aroma with nice notes of fruity bubblegum.  Commons is very light in aroma, with a bit of grain and a tiny hint of fruit.

Flavor is similar -- Commons is light, grainy and crisp.  Very drinkable.  Ours is malty with a bit of sweetness and a good amount of smooth fruitiness.

Both finish surprisingly dry, but ours actually finishes a bit dryer and quite crisp and spicy.

I think ours compares very well.  I'd probably prefer the Commons on a really hot day, and ours any other time.  Both are damn good.
