COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Clara (1906-1969) 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 Grisette is crafted from American malted barley, Vermont Organic Wheat, European and American hops, our distinctive farmhouse yeast and water from our well. Unfiltered and naturally carbonated, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Clara. 4% ALC/VOL 9º P Ingredients: Pale Malt, Organic Vermont Wheat, American and European Hops, Ale Yeast, and our Well Water.

Bottle in the Mikkeller bar shared with Anders37 - cheers mate! Light haze on this gold beer. Light palate a little dry. Very light carbonation. Creamy frothy! A little minerals and very mild wheaty malt. Very light orange. Some nice floral notes and a touch of vanilla. Frothy dry finish. Not bad but it’s all a bit of a frothy mess to be brutal.

750 mL served in a tulip. Hazy yellow with a soft white head. Nice retention and thick lacing. Aroma is floral, yeasty and bready. Mild sweetness, little hop or fruit presence. Light bodied, crisp and refreshing with a dry earthy finish. Strong malt body with a pleasant floral flavor throughout. A nice saison, but nothing exceptional.

Papsoe (23023) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - MAR 30, 2012
Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a cloudy opaque golden with a huge white head with good retention. Fresh citrusy nose combined with a distinct yeastiness. Light body, heavy carbonation, floral and herbal, initially a little sweet fruitiness but turns more and more dry the closer you get to the finish - bordering astringency. Actually a very bitter finish - think dandelion juice or something. 300312
