UPDATED: MAR 13, 2020 January 1st, 2016 - It's been awhile since I've had the luxurious pleasure of enjoying a Hill Farmstead beer, but it meets expectations with the Anna. The nose features a rich, French style pear note, with some white grape juice for spine and acidity. The flavor is tangy, too, and comes across as very sour for a saison. The pear note in the taste is rich and sensual, too, and while the list of notes I can directly name is short, it is absolutely superb.

UPDATED: MAR 8, 2020 Bottle from the brewery. Pours hazy gold with a bubbly white head. Tastes like yeast, herb, cracker malt, and citrus. Light body and low/medium carbonation. Smells like yeast, citrus, herb, and cracker malt.

UPDATED: FEB 10, 2020 Slight haze. Thin head. Straw colour. Light brett. Clean pale malts, as per the HF house signature. On the palate, deep brettanomyces, maybe a bit of wood, and again those clean pale malts. Simple and beautiful.

UPDATED: FEB 1, 2020 Hazy straw colour. Big, fluffy head. Refreshing and funky aroma of nettles and grapes. Refreshing and sourish taste of goose berries, nettles and grapes.

UPDATED: JAN 27, 2020 Aromat cytrusowy, skórka cytryny, delikatnie dziki w typie sianka, niska chlebowa słodowość w tle. W smaku cierpkie, owocowe, cytrusowe, nieco sianka. Cierpkie, odświeżające i gładkie.

UPDATED: JAN 10, 2020 Hazy golden body with large lasting white head. Aroma is citrus fruits brett honey in the background . Taste herbs barnyard fruits malts. Aftertaste is nice. Perfect.

UPDATED: DEC 31, 2019 .75 bottle pale golden hazy. Pretty nice sharp citrus on nose, meadows, florals, bit wit-like actually, but with a dupondy dirt dusty straw maltyness. Med bodied, med tart, really clean, citrus, piercing lemon peely finish. Right ok.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2020 Poured straw colour with a slight haze. Thin white foam. Aroma is farmhouse, light malt. Taste is brett, sweet malt. Simple, and amazing.

UPDATED: DEC 27, 2019 Keg at Friends & Family beer festival, Manchester. Pale yellow shade. Small head. Taste is on the sour side, vinegar, apple cider, floral, citrus rind. OK but not as good as I hoped.

UPDATED: DEC 10, 2019 Tap at Armsby. Cloudy pale yellow with a large, foamy off white head that lasts and laces. Aromas of tart lemon, grainy, biscuit, funk, and light pine and floral notes. Flavor is the same with some wheat and honey notes as well. The sweetness of the honey cuts through the tartness well. Light plus bodied crisp with a dry finish.
