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 @ As Is NYC. Cloudy bright golden yellow with large foamy off-white head, faint citrus peel aroma, medium carbonation, lightly bitter with permeating citrus peel flavor, somewhat thick body, long bitterish citrus peel finish. Very smooth and citrusy, well balanced.

Poured from a 09/2015. Aroma has a nice light acidity and citrus. Medium light hop aroma with some floral and herbal, woodsy notes. Light phenolic peppery notes. Faintly poopy. Pours a hazy, pale straw color with a large, frothy, white head that slowly recedes leaving a pillowy head that lingers. High amount of lacing and no legs. Flavor is fairly dry and not sweet with some light grain notes. Medium bitterness. Some light peppery phenolic notes. Somewhat floral with some herbal and woodsy notes. A bit of pineapple and citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Fairly soft mouthfeel. Light astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer and I think it is better when fresh. The hops work well with the saison and the esters and phenolics are nicely balanced. Nice water quality with good yeast notes. Still not my favorite Hill Farmstead beer though.

Had this at the 2/20/16 Pittsburgh RB Gathering @ Insurrection in Heidelberg. Big thanks to my fellow ratebeerians! Especially big thanks to Dan for this one! Pale yellow. Has some of that big dull farmy aroma. Has some wet wool blanket farmy attributes about the taste as well. Yes, quite nice. I really liked this. its pretty darn good! Was expecting something over the top considering its from HF. Do I detect a hint of tartness in there? Yes, comes across rather well defined and civilized. Can’t be 7%, no way. Smooth and easy finish. Thanks Dan!

On tap at the Backcountry Pizza 5th anniversary party. Pours a pale, hazy, yellow, with a thin, white head. The nose is lemon, leather, earth, and some cloves. Surprisingly dry, with a light bitterness. Light to medium body, very astringent and dry, sticky, with a long, bitter aftertaste. This is a solid, impressive brett saison.

750mL capped bottle, stamped 2015.04.09, shared by Prufrock. Voluminous head, cloudy light yellow color. Aroma is funky, very funky and then some light citrus hoppiness. Flavor is less funky and more hoppy, some light hop bitterness, dry bitter hop finish. Much less fun flavor than aroma. The hops annoy me.
