Ephraim (1823-1913) was our great-great grandfather; Hill Farmstead Brewery resides several hundred feet downhill from the land that he and his father settled. In his honor, this Imperial India Pale Ale is dutifully crafted from American malted barley, buckets of American hops, our ale yeast and water from our well. It is unfiltered and double dry hopped. Intensely aromatic and saturated with resinous hop flavor, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Ephraim.

Pours a lightly hazy, golden-orange, with rather smallish head. Aroma is citrus, pine, some bread/biscuit. Flavors follow, with some caramel sweetness. Mouthfeel is fairly crisp. Pretty strong hop bitterness in the finish.

Pours clear gold into a willi. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Caramel, pine and resin aromas. Thick with sweet strawberry, papaya and guava upfront turning to soft resin, apricot and orange smarties in the hot, lasting finish.

Can down SMOD. Thanks to the generous person who brought this along. Hazed murk. Leggy. Big rich sweet fruity hops. Similar on the malt. Slick and fruity. Drinks preposterously easy. Hit of bitterness to finish. Top notch boost.
