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 Farmstead® ale is crafted from American malted barley, American and European hops, our distinctive farmhouse yeast and water from our well. Unfiltered and naturally carbonated, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Arthur.

Bottle. A more or less clear one, golden in color an topped by a big, off-white head leaving lacings. Lovely aroma with generic lemonish citrus, some funk and a hint of leather and barnyard. Tropical fruit notes and a faint hint of fluor toothpaste. Pleasantly carbonated, rather dry and with a medium body fullness. Grapefruit, lemon, orange zest and some tropical fruits in the flavor, some bitterness too, with a light maltyness. Peach hints. Lasting fruity finish with a faint funky-ish hint. A quite lovely and easy drinkable beer that I could down quite a lot of. 160325

Bottle, picked up at the brewery, and drunk at home. Colour of hazy lemon squash. Thin, dense, lasting, white head. Beautifully funky, yeasty, bready, and lemony. Smells a lot like a lemony Saison Dupont. Taste has a candied lemon sweetness. It’s funky, lemon pith dry, and soft bitter. Sparkly, fresh, cleansing palate. Finishes long, pithy, lemony bitter. Not hugely complex, and all the better for it. I could drink this every day, for ever. Lovely.
