Poured from magnum thanks AdamChandler for the Ratebeer Farmhouse Magnum Tasting. Hazy golden color with a nice head. Aromas of honey yeast light wine and citrus with soft funk. Taste is smooth and crisp with complex flavors that blend perfectly.

Bottle shared at LBT2. Pours cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma is vinous with good oaky barrel notes, light floral notes, honey, citrus, a soft funk, fruits and grapes. Flavour is light moderate sweet with a touch or sourness. Perfectly balanced in the palate with a minerally fruitiness, soft acidity and wonderful barrel notes complimenting an already great base beer. Medium bodied with light carbonation. Overall, a technically perfect beer and the best saison I’ve had. A beer like this with such crazy hype, rarity and value can never really live up to it. It’s not worth what it takes to acquire, but still a beautiful beer and a great experience.

Woodshed 2.0. Yellow waxed 750mL bottle share courtesy of dak. It pours with an opaque pale gold body with copper hues and a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up sweaty socks, smooth soft vinegar, muted sugar coated spicy oak, apples and apricots. Smells very inviting. The taste is smooth yet mildly tart heading into smooth soft sour vinegar, apricot, pineapple and faint moldy spicy oak. The vinegar shows up now and then but is smooth, modest in strength and has a softness to it that really gives the experience extra depth and interest. Tasty rich stuff.

Bottle 750ml.[ Bottle # 108/300 ]. Clear medium orange yellow colour with a large, frothy to creamy, good lacing, fully lasting, white head. Aroma is moderate malty, pale malt, moderate yeasty, grape, white wine, leather - brett notes. Flavour is light heavy sweet and moderate acidic with a long duration, dry, tart white wine, fruity, grape, fruity - honey sweet, grape - wine - citrus tart. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. Aroma is a bit weak but flavor is very powerfull and very complex, and as normal with Hill Farmsted very very balanced. [20121109]

Bottle #260. Thanks Shaun. Enjoyed at 55 Degrees F in a snifter on my GF’s birthday.

A - The beeswax surrounding this bottle smells amazing. The best smelling bottle I’ve ever had. Gorgeous clarity. Bright golden orange with a 3 finger fluffy solid white head. Head fades to a finger and remains. Pillow-like lacing sticks decently. A very nice steady stream of bubbles travel bottom to top for as long as I’m drinking it. Looks a lot like a Prosecco.

S - Grape skins and lemongrass on the nose. Lots of characters that remind me of Prosecco and Sauvignon Blanc. Lovely citrus and wine tannins and a splash of honey sweetness.

T - Very sweet like lemon, tangerines and grapefruit. Dash of wine tannins at the finish with a super dry finish. I don’t pick up a lot of honey but there is this tart wild yeast aspect that compliments the excellent wheat and grassiness.

M - Medium body and a very nice balanced medium carbonation. A hint of an astringent listerine mouth wash finish but it’s not drastic and you really have to swish quite a bit to get it.

O - Hype, Hype, Hype. So Ann, the elusive Ann. Her? I’m enjoying drinking this right now. It’s tasty and enjoyable but I prefer Art which, for most purposes, is the best beer to compare with Ann. Juicy, Mimosa and Flora, in my opinion, exceed Ann in taste, body and the nose. Art is still the definite winner of Hill Farmstead Barrel Aged farmhouse ales. Would I pick up Ann again? OF COURSE! It’s delicious and delicate and graceful throughout. However, the best saison I’ve ever had? Sorry but it’s not. Try this if you can. It’s a fantastic beer! Thanks Shaun.
