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.

Bottle split at LKS 15K Tasting, massive thanks to LKS, 02/11/15. Hazed yellow orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is pissy citric tones, straw, lemon rind, melon, mandarin, light funk. Taste comprises citric tinged straw, grassy, bitter orange, trace of yeast, light bread, spice, funk. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough saison but not top draw for me.

Craft Clerkenwell. LKS 15K bash. Big thanks to Leighton for more HF rarities. Hazy gold beer, good white head. Palate is airy and semi dry, fine carbonation. Tangy sweetish fruits. Some floralness. A white wine tang. Mellow spice. Lightly tangy floral finish. It’s a nice Saison but that’s it.
