COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Anna (1902 - ? ) was our grandfather’s sister; Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to her and her 13 siblings. In her honor, this Honey Saison is crafted from American malted barley, European and American hops, Vermont wildflower honey, our distinctive farmhouse yeast and water from our well. Unfiltered and naturally carbonated, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Anna. 6.5% ALC/VOL 14º P Ingredients: Pale Malt, American and European Hops, Vermont Wildflower Honey, Ale Yeast, and our Well Water.

MarkBarnes (348) - Waterville, New York, USA - APR 22, 2013
Apr. 22, 2013: Cloudy, very pale yellow. Unfiltered. Thin head. Extremely-zesty lemon/citrus brew with a long-lasting, sour, "Lemonhead"-type palate. Not a huge fan of this lighter style (the appearance is a bit off-putting?), but appreciate what the brewer has done with this, and am happy to sample one of the better examples.
