NYC Trip Beer #13. While this is a collaboration, I could not pass up an opportunity to grab some Hill Farmstead. Split the bottle with my wife. Upon seeing our order, a local beer nerd whose name now escapes me invited me to his table. I became quite jealous as he talked about his pending trip to the Hill Farmstead anniversary trip. Poured a hazy yellow with ample head. Smelled of crisp white whine and citrus. Mix of fruit, citrus, and champagne. Mouthfeel is very bubbly. Bottle - Blind Tiger - New York, NY

Pours cloudy yellow with a white head. Aroma is wheat, fruity yeast, peach and grass. Flavour is malt, yeast, co2, peach, grass, pine and horseblanket.

Very much old country saison. Light, crisp and well carbonated. Slightly tart and slightly funky over a yeasty backbone. Very strong peppery notes that seem to increase with each sip. The American part of this collab is the hops, but I'm not picking any of this up. Quintessential old country farmhouse ale all the way! Solid. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pour out of 750 mL bottle, hazy orange pour with white head, aroma brought notes of tart fruit, biscuit, bread, nice white fruits, hints of nice vanilla, touch of grain, slight fruit. Taste is a mix of peach, grapefruit, slight orange, hints of vanilla, biscuit, bread, slight earth, finishing fairly bitter, slightly dry.

Bottle at home. Pour is clear straw, slightly orange with a huge white head and amazing lacing. Big grassy aroma - lemons, somewhat wheaty, funky, skunky, peppery, musty, doughy, spelt, and yeasty. Taste is earthy, grassy, light citrus, doughy, white pepper, straw, musty, hay, and tangy with a light spice bite/crisp finish. Light body with high carbonation. Awesome session saison and perfect for summer.

Thanks Jason for sharing! Pours a cloudy dirty yellow/orange color with a huge aft-white head. Smell is herbal and spicy. The taste is pepper and spice then mild malt and slightly bitter. Light body and a little slick. Beautifully carbonated.

(bottle) pours a hazy golden colour with a frothy white head. aroma of herbal hops, earth, dandelions, pepper and yeast, with a hint of talcum powder and pizza bread. flavour is mostly the same, herbal hops and talcum powder, with light notes of banana skins and mango, the finish is a tad too bitter. medium-bodied with lively carbonation.

Stouts III Tasting. Cloudy pale gold beer, big white head. Palate is airy and frothy. Light and a little dry. Crisp minerals. Light brett and seltzer minerals. Good noble hop like bitterness with a touch of orange. Light fruity cream. Finishes dry with a moderate bitter linger.

UPDATED: MAY 11, 2013 Bottle @ Pre-Christian Firtal Pale Ale Festival Tasting, 2013. Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head. Nose is packed with sulphur, svovl and solvent. Rotten eggs - too much. Taste is grass, funk and hay. Crisp and really dry.

pour is pale hazy yellow with a tight billowy white head. Nose has a great yeast presence, strong and funky, dry hop presence, light lemon. Taste follows suit, huge farmhouse note, not too funky but the yeast is bright and delicious. Lemon is light, solid hop presence and a touch grassy. Crisp clean dry finish with perfect carb. So drinkable and balanced.
