Pronounced Hooga. This was on tap at The Reservoir, Waterbury, VT.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a dark red color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Light lacing stuck around the glass nicely.
The smell started off with some sweet roasted nuts blending into some citrus and piney hops. Caramel and toffee malts - delicate yet there. Very well balanced.
The taste was mainly sweet with a nice rounded corners of bready malts. Smooth lingering sweet and roasted nuts. Light smooth caramel malts in the aftertaste. Semi-dry nutty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light. Smooth malts lay down on my tongue nicely.
Overall, I say this was a really good Amber ale that I would have again.

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?"
