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.

Tap@Mikkeller Bar (Viktoriagade) during Hill Farmstead EXTRAVAGANZA event/weekend - golden coloured pour with a white head. Aroma and taste is zesty barnyard fruity, sour notes, light grassy, light on the palate, some floral and herbal nuances going on, dry finish.

Had this at the 2014 RB Pittsburgh Summer Gathering at Horny Devil’s place. Actually it was after the equinox at the beginning of fall, but DILLIGAF. Big thanks to James & Michelle for hosting such a nice spread of quality beers and for this particular beer a GIANT thanks goes out to James. Slight odd off aroma, but I guess that’s in a good way. Looks like lemonade, thin head that fades rapidly. Pretty good co2 bite on the tongue. Somewhat plastic background with a good tart overlay. For a saison, this is pretty good beer IMHO because its more like a wild ale, you knoe. Not like its saison in your face like so many others in the style. Yes, friendly, even at 6%.

A hazed golden saison with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with loads of Brett, orange pulp, catty notes, floral hops, beautiful. In mouth, a nice herbaceous malt, citrus pulp, light Brett, lemon juice, beautiful. #OttBottShare.

Bouteille 75cl @ RBBSG III, courtesy of Thirstybird. Dorée léger trouble, col fin blanc. Arôme est légèrement aigrelet avec un rappel typique de brett et un houblonné laissant des effluves de citronné en rétro-nasal. Palais offre un profil aigrelet tirant fortement sur le citronné accompagné de malts pâles. Ressemblance de saison se marque plus dans l’approche de la levure. Je ne retrouve pas le côté rustique de cette dernière. Le brett, qui je ne sais pas ce qu’il vient faire ici, gâche un peu le but de cette saison. Retrouve une dominance plus marquée des houblons américains qui apporte plus de fraîcheur. Reste cependant une belle découverte.

750 ml. bottle sampled @ RBBSG III. Thanks to thirstybird! Fizzy citrus golden. Smells like fizzy lemonade, touch artificial citrus with brett. Taste is sour lemonade, brett, artificial lemon, effervescent & quite fizzy, lemon, lightly floral. Not bad at all but I did expect a lot more from a HF saison, a bit to lemonade-like for me I suppose.
