Samuel Hill (1820-1899) was Edward’s great-uncle and brother of Ephraim. He served in the Union army at the Battle of Gettysburg.
A beer worthy of Samuel’s memory is inspired and informed by two of our favorite Farmstead® ales—Le Sarrasin and Vera Mae. Samuel aspires to harmonize the essential expression of each into a perpetually novel and ever-evolving representation. Similar to previous instances, this beer can continue to bottle condition gracefully for the next 5 (or more) years while continuing to unveil new levels of aromatic and textural complexity.

750mL bottled December 2020, drunk 11/18/22. Hint of haze. Bright marigold, burnished brass, white head slowly to spotty cover. Lots of Brett, lemon, wheat, very tart and bright, reminiscent of Vera Mae. Similar, tho less intense all around, than WoL Monks. Clean, big minerality, round fruitiness. Soft and sniffable, nothing aggressive. Lemony-brett and piquant acidity with soft wheat, gentle honey-like malt and good attenuation. Great balance of acidity, juicy and tart but with excellent maltiness. Excellent flavors. As delicate as WoL Monks is intense.
