Overall Impression:
Hill Farmstead Edward is unquestionably, the best American Pale Ale I have ever tasted! It had more flavor than most IPA's...top rated IPA's at that! I don't know how the brewers packed so much flavor and aroma into such a modest style, but who cares? This beer is truly Nectar of the Gods! I look forward to trying more beers from this brewery...I hope the mighty Hulmeville Inn keeps tapping them!
