Has anyone done a clone for this one. Tasted this up at the Gold Coast last weekend and liked the funky taste. Would love to make it.

From the website:

Beach House Ale – 4.8%
Our Gold Coast take on the traditional French Farmhouse ale. Light bodied, low bitterness and dry, makes this easy drinking. Delicately hopped, giving tropical aromas whilst letting the yeast shine through with zesty fruit & spice.
Grain: Australian barley & wheat.
Hops: Summer, Vic Secret, Nelson Sauvin & Citra.
Yeast: French Saison.

I reckon if you email the guys they would be able to give you a little more detail.

Keen to try this, I backed them in the pozible campaign (mainly for their book) but it is coming with a carton of this.
