If you want a little backstory as to why I try and buy anything from Hill Farmstead, this post eloquates precisely why.
And I'm so glad I purchased this.
Sure, it appears thin and watered down, but it's absolutely packed with flavor. There's a tart yet barely funky aspect from the brett and a nice level of acidity, and the oak conditioning lends a nice rustic, woody aspect... whoa whoa whoa, I'm getting a little too esoteric here... sorry I can't help it ... and a really unique herbal finish. Sorry, I'm a little over-stimulated.
Basically, this is one hell of a beer that should be appreciated by those who can get it. And I am throughly stoked to be heading out to Vermont in June with Brats -- we're surely detouring up to b.f.e. Vermont to sample some fine rural ales.
