I’m not sure why Hill Farmstead decided to rebrew Edith but in a different style than it’s original 2011 version which was Black IPA. Edith is a Black Saison brewed and bottled in 2013 and available limit 8 per person at the retail shop for $10 a bottle..or maybe it was $15, I can’t remember. A note on the photos, I lost all of my SD cards..all of them so I’m stuck taking photos with my iPhone until my new SD card kit arrives.<\/p>\n

adamjackson\u00a0(1172)<\/a>\u00a0– Canaan, New Hampshire, USA – APR 24, 2013<\/small><\/p>\n

2013 Bottle, blue label 75CL format enjoyed in the new charcoal Hill Farmstead Stemware at 62 Degrees F on the first 70 Degree + day here in central New Hampshire.<\/p>\n

A – Thank goodness this wasn\u2019t a gusher! Pours a toasted black out of the bottle. Dark brown to black in the glass, 1 finger leathery head with a creamy top. Very persistent lacing<\/p>\n

S – This is a hard one to place. There is a lot going on, I get faint cherries, a smudge like almost nonexistent level of roasted barley. There\u2019s a nice level of lactic acid nose creating a tartness and a level of floral like rose petals as well.<\/p>\n

T – Wow. This is incredibly interesting. The terroir of Hill Farmstead\u2019s Water, Yeast and Oak process that is similar to Sean\u2019s other bottled farmhouse style ales is apparent. It\u2019s a profile I love a lot so I\u2019mg lad to see it so present in Edith. In addition, there is a minor roast \/ smokiness, navel juiciness and crisp tart finish that\u2019s really nice. In the middle is a sweet grape taste. It\u2019s complex and just enough “black” to make it stand out from arthur yet shares a lot of the same similarities.<\/p>\n

M – Very full body on the mouth swish. Tart and dry finish. Medium in body<\/p>\n

O – As I said in the taste notes, it reminds me of the 2 most recent batches of Arthur but with additional bitterness and roastiness that you\u2019d expect from a black saison. Very different from Civil Disobedience 4. A delicious beer that I\u2019m glad there are more in the cellar.<\/p><\/div>\n

Just some ranting: see this?<\/p>\n

So, while the cameras were shot with an iPhone 5 in daylight at f\/2.4 and only at ISO 50-80, the amount of graininess on the blue label and terrible depth fuzziness makes me continue to hate the iPhone as a viable camera. Anyone trying to convince you the iPhone can take great photos is an idiot. Just look how terrible the Edith label looks in the firs photo!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I’m not sure why Hill Farmstead decided to rebrew Edith but in a different style than it’s original…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2018-12-07T17:07:08Z","apple_news_api_id":"88502b99-2f2f-455c-a113-a08f5bb9b1f4","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2018-12-07T17:07:12Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AiFArmS8vRVyhE6CPW7mx9A","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-reviews","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-nO","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":1929,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2013\/12\/13\/review-hill-farmstead-flora-satsuma-mandarin\/","url_meta":{"origin":1476,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 Review: Hill Farmstead Flora (Satsuma Mandarin)","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"December 13, 2013","format":false,"excerpt":"\u00a0 3.9 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0AROMA\u00a07\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0APPEARANCE\u00a05\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0TASTE\u00a07\/10\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0PALATE\u00a05\/5\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0OVERALL15\/20 adamjackson\u00a0(1750)\u00a0- Lyme, New Hampshire, USA - DEC 7, 2013 \u00a0[delete]\u00a0[move] Bottled late summer, enjoyed the 375ML by myself, full pour for the haters. 55F temp leaving an ounce behind for dregs.A - Looks like a rich Chardonnay, slight tint of yellow with champagne like bubbles.
