Hill Farmstead thread

[indy1]

The last time I was that excited for something still it was from the Chronic 2001 album. When you consider the provenance of how that iteration of Art came to be and are drinking it 5 years later, you count your blessings.

Care to share what you know about that or link me to .info?

came back to say b3 BA Dorothy was sublime as was Flora Pear... Flora Pear was really really good... i enjoyed Flora Cherry/Rasp/Kiwi but something about it kind of rubbed me the wrong way.. maybe the kiwi... idk... was still great but Pear and B3 BA Dorothy were my standouts the other week going through some of my hill stash

Pear has improved considerably since release. Tons of pear now on the nose. Really good.

This is basically the description I've been hearing since release..? What change did you observe?

IMHO Pear and Peach/Pear are among the best of the fruited floras. Loved Pear from the get-go.

Pear has been awesome. Only one I feel like I liked better was the Blueberry solo one.

and CD Pear was mind-blowing. HF got the pear game on lock

Blueberry solo one.

That's my favorite as well, cherry and CR are up there too, never tried Satsuma

With peach/pear, the peach was dominant, and I had to struggle to find the pear when I drank it(didn't care really, since I love all things peach). When I first had pear solo, I struggled to pull the pear out. I thought it was great, don't get me wrong, but it seem light to me. Last week, pear came out of the bottle swinging. Completely changed my view.

I'd chalk it up to bottle variation or something, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

New etched glasses are sold out, in two damn days. Lol.

An amount of money more acceptable without spousal judgement?

Doesn’t everyone have a burner bank account Marek?

Cheers to a summer that just doesn’t want to quit! (SS 6/7 Cuvée in the glass)

 

[BadJustin]

Get excited you guys. It’s looms and it’s beyond my wildest dreams.


Other than the one with that threesome with Anjelica Ebbi and my wife, but I digress.

Lemme see what I wind up with. I MAY have you. Don’t take that as bible.

 

[iong516]

Anyone have a 10/2015 Florence? ISO...

It’s just glass. I’ll live. I want that big ass Flo Punch.

The old etched bulb isn't the most visible logo either, especially for certain styles. Nature of the beast, I guess.

I guess I'm the only one who hasn't really liked Pear. Peach/Pear was amazing but I've tried the Pear three diffferent times and it tastes like a dry, funky cider to me. First time was way too acidic for my liking. Never tried solo blueberry though I don't think. Sounds good.

I don’t think wuntrikpony was a big fan of flora pear.

I loved it the one time I had it. Thought the pear really stood it. Definitely had a cider quality to it but I liked that. Don’t remember it being overly acidic but based on differing opinions of people I trust, maybe there was some bottle variation. I’ve got a couple more bottles. Should crack one soon. I preferred it over CD pear because of how pear forward it was. CD pear had the pear upfront but became way more funky and acidic as it warmed and the pear flavor fell off. I also had it back to back weeks at HF and they varied greatly.

Flora blackberry is one I’d love to see remade for a retail release.
