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.

Hazy pale golden color. Frothy white, massive dry fragerent, melons and grapefruit hoppy nose. Very dry hoppy tons of melon and white grapefruit in the mouth. Modest bitter finish. Very nice.

On tap @Ma che siete venuti a fà (Rome). Bevuta a Birre Sotto l’Albero 2016. Oro acida, appena torbida, schiuma media bianca, molto persistente. Al naso base saison con luppolatura generosa, sentori di scorza di limone, lime e arancia, frutta tropicale, leggero bretta, pesca, stalla. In bocca è equilibratissima e fresca, dolciastra all’attacco, con finale amaro lungo e persistente, secca e pulitissima. Corpo medio, carbonazione media. Freschissima e di grande spunto e pulizia, fantastica!

12 oz draft Finn’s Manor in Denver, Colorado. The pour is a hazed yellow golden with a well formed ½ inch white head. The aroma is soft herbal lemon citrus, leafy earth, soft funk Brett, and floral. The taste starts citrus tart, and quickly moves to the herbal, floral, earth Brett. The palate is medium bodied with soft natural carbonation and a dry, tart, floral finish. Really nice.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy bright yellow color ale with a huge pure white foamy head with good retention and some great lacing. Aroma of funky Brett notes with some citrusy and tropical fruit notes with some Sauvignon notes also clearly noticeable. Taste is a great mix of floral Brett notes with some funky barnyard notes, some tropical fruit and citrusy dry hoppy notes are also noticeable with some white wine notes that are clearly apparent. Body is full with limited filtration and good carbonation. Definitely one of the best saison out there.

Bottle into a wineglass showing cloudy dull bright yellow with a finger and a half of clean white foam. The nose shows light creamy orange like an orange julius - a mix of fresh sweet oranges and creamer. Upon warming up, the dairy note fades and lightly intense sharp orange zest notes show. The palate is light bodied with a full carbonated/foamy mouthfeel. Flavors of lightly bitter orange zest with the light citric orange notes constantly in the background. Light orange rind bitterness on the finish. Balanced and a little subtle, orange zest could be a little less with a little more juice.
