Arthur (1922-2005) was our grandfather’s youngest brother; Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to him and his 13 siblings. In his honor, this version of Arthur was aged for many months in our puncheons–not quite Arthur, not quite Art, but magical all the same. Unfiltered and naturally carbonated, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Arthur.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden with a medium white head and good lacing. Aroma is a bit funky, yet delicate, lemon, a bit of feet, oak. Flavor is light tart, light plus funk. Light body, soft HF trademark mouthfeel. Great beer..

Opaque, with only a thin head. Light bug and wood notes, soft sweet honeyed malts. It's tarter on the palate, still a bit of floral pale malts but more woody, tart depth. Gets puckering in the finish, definitely like the aroma a bit more.

750ml (thx, Charles S.!) @ Ryan's shared with Faress and a gang. Appearance: hazy pale golden with a white head. Aroma: it's very interesting, very fruity, with some tea, and some sweet flowers. Taste: rustic notes, a bit malty, some ascorbic notes, not as great as aroma, not much is going here. Overall: just a good beer, but it doesn't reach regular HF saison level IMHO.

750mL bottle, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma is very woody, oaky, buggy notes, and some rustic notes. Flavour is on the tarter side for Arthur, with lots of oak, gentle acidity, bugs, and some rustic notes. Buggy, tart and dry, with a very oaky, dry finish. Very good.

Pours clear gold into a tulip. Bubbly head with little retention. Hay and lemon aromas. Soft with sweet lemon and hay upfront turning quickly to tart earthy pith in the lasting finish.
