Dorothy
Citrus and lemon notes with a mild tartness: this hoppy Farmstead ale is brewed with New Zealand and American hops and the brewery's own yeast blend, dry-hopped, unfiltered, naturally carbonated and aged in foudre, at 7%. Dorothy (1921–1994) was the grandfather's sister, one of 14 siblings who grew up on the land the brewery now occupies.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Dorothy
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
