Dorothy (1921-1994) was our grandfather’s sister, Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to her and her 13 siblings. In her honor, this hoppy Farmstead® ale is crafted from New Zealand and American hops, our distinctive yeast blend and water from our well. Dry hopped, unfiltered, and naturally carbonated, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Dorothy.

New iteration. Farmstead ale brewed with wheat, fermented with Brettanomyces, and hopped with Citra. Reminiscent of Wheat is the New Hops.

Draught via ginger Manhattan slight opaque off gold pour. A bit of a yeasty band aid front blending into lemony citrus. Pretty good.

From tap at Mikkeller Bar, Århus. Aroma is grassy hops, bretty funk, saison yeast, citrussy notes, some lemon, touch of apple, mild herbs. Flavour is a bit tartish and above moderate bitter with a very dry finish. Body is medium. Exquisite hoppy Saison, both crisp hoppy and funky.

Pours hazed light gold into a willi. Bright white micro head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Tart apricot and brett aromas. Crisp and tart with sweet apricot, band aid turning to crushed aspirin and grapefruit peel in the dry, lasting finish.

Poured from 750mL bottle (bottled Oct 13, 2022; thanks Derek & JF). Hazy blonde with small white head. Funky, dry citrus, the Brett really blends nicely, good complexity. Enjoyable.

Hapu, humalane, happeline, nats oksüdeerunyd, nisune, funky, tammene. See imelik noot (sama mis hiljuti proovitud teisel HF õllel), mis mulle ei meeldi, on siin ka. Lõpp on veits vesine. Hea, aga no see pole küll seda hype-i väärt. Väga libisev tho.
