Dennis Hill State Park, in Norfolk, CT, was once the sprawling 240 acre estate of Dr. Frederick Shepard Dennis. The panoramic sights from the summit are what inspired this brew, a wheat beer that is lightly spiced with coriander and orange peel. A special yeast was employed to add depth and dimension to this fine locally crafted ale.

16 oz can. Aroma of mild herb with lemon and rustic grain. Flavor is the same with a mild undertone of lemon and honey malts. Flavor ends on white pepper, and a nice crisp mouth feel. This is quite good.

Can with code V3656GOOD, but no date, drunk 7/18/25.
Lightly hazy, muted brass-golden. Medium-sized, off-white head steadily fizzles to spotty cover.
Oh wow, this actually smells not very Americanized! Fruity with herbal hops, rustic grains and seemingly good attenuation. Lots of pear and light stone fruit with little/no clove, no banana/bubble gum. Black pepper lingering.
Wow this is a legit saison yeast and not fermented hot. Controlled temperatures creating stone fruit, pear, apple, black pepper and light lemon. Low acidity but ample, with excellent maltiness and good attenuation. No clove/banana/bubble gum. Will definitely be visiting this brewery!

Can thanks to Brian. Pours a hazy gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is yeast, floral, grass. Medium body, grass, yeast, spice, dry finish, good.
