Difference & Repetition 9
Hill Farmstead Brewery

 

 

 

 

 

Moderate pour yields a one inch white head over a hazy golden body with some sticky lacing. Nose of slight tropical/citrus fruit, grass, hay, slight dankness, and a bit of some floral/herbal aromas as well. Taste of citrus, dank soft bitterness in the middle with a citrus pith finish. Very tasty! Real nice HF feel and overall another beautiful beer from Greensboro Bend, VT. Cheers to Mike for the hookup!

There is something about HF IPAs that strikes me better than any other brewers NEIPAs. And here is another one using Simcoe (usually west coast/piney) and Hallertau (Pilsner?) and yet it come out smooth, citrusy and no bitterness at all. Perfect in every way possible.

Orange colored and hazy with an egg white foam cap.

Smells musty and dank/weedy with spicy mango, and an apple/green grape aroma.

The marijuana smell doesn’t come through as much in the flavor, but it’s there. A spicy, floral flavor almost like Noboe hops, with mango, pineapple, stone fruit, and passion fruit in the end.

Creamy, smooth, with a crisp finish

This is how to do a hazy style IPA. Not cloying, chalky, or overly fruited with no bitterness. Great balance. Great beer.

 

Same as diff and rep 3, probably should not be a new entry

Opaque orange-yellow with a thick, persistent white blanket leaving a few waves of lace on the glass.

Smell is orange, pineapple, mango and even green apple with some spicy accents of dank cannabis and smoothing vanilla creme.

Taste is spicy eucalyptic pine with toasty cracker, orange zest, orange rind, dense shortbread, mango and a hint of weed.

The moderate body has a mild, soft carbonation and a paper dry finish.
