Tap. Prohibition Pig, Waterbury, VT. Mostly clear, gingery red. Film of dense, beige head. Nose has fresh, leafy hop that comes across juicy, spicy and resinous. Light biscuit malts. Further notes of blood orange flesh and zest. Taste is zesty, spicy, resinous bitter. Some lip sticking sweetness. Medium body. Soft fizz. More spice on the finish. Nice one.

Draft at Hill Farmstead. 12 oz sample. Cloudy amber / brown, great head retention. Aroma is earthy grain, deep malt, light yeast.

The flavor much the same as the aroma, deep earthy grain, toasted caramel, mild pine like hints. Mouthfeel is good, fuller side of medium. Lingering earth and grains. Bitterness is in the medium range, piney.

Keg at the brewery taproom. Pours unclear copper-amber with a creamy, yellowish tan head. The nose holds lightly toasted grains, earth, orange rind and pine. Light to medium sweet flavour, with pleasant well toasted biscuits, earthy and piney bitterness, faint bitter leaves, dried berries. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Sturdy bitterness on the finish, with further piney hops, light sticky resin, grass, earth. Great stuff. Quite moreish.

Glass at Hill Farmstead

A - Brown reddish with a bit of orange, hazy with a lot of lacing ion a 3 finger off-white head.

S - The nose is interesting, IT’s certainly not the standard HF aroma. Oatmeal, chocolate, pine and grain.

T - Has an english beer sort of profile in taste though. The finish is very bitter almost medicinal. Up front there’s this really good sweetness, orange peel, herbs, almost creamy then that fades to a latex plastic taste.

M - It does have that very classic HF mouthfeel

O - Hate to say it but this probably one of the worst HF beers I’ve had. not bad but I’m gonna order an Edward next. My friend said "if this was my first HF beer, I’m not sure I’d be so stoked about this place. What is this?"
