Description Classic farmhouse ale yeast. Spicy and complex aromatics including bubble gum. Very tart and dry on palate with mild fruit. Finishes crisp and mildly acidic. Benefits from elevated fermentation temperatures. Usually slow to attenuate.
I've heard rave reviews of the 3711, evidently that yeast kicks ass. I will be brewing a saison here soon since fermentation temperature control is such a hassle here in Florida.
New Glarus Brewery located in New Glarus, Wisconsin, brews a beer it calls "Spotted Cow." They call it a "farmhouse ale." I have no real idea exactly what that is, but perhaps the yeast is the answer. Thanks, brewers, for shedding some possible light on "farmhouse ale."
