Poured into a tasting glass, Anna is glassine golden straw with a robust, rock-and-cream head and a central column of effervescence. The bouquet erupts from the glass, dominated by green apple, wet grass and honey. The taste opens with a mix of tartness and earth, but this gives way to a biscuit and spice finish. If there’s one adjective for Anna, it’s dewy. This is a sweet, pastoral ale, mixing citrus, bread, honey, apple and hints of ginger, brown sugar and pepper. Anna is full and zesty but also refreshing. This is a product that showcases the liquid component as strongly as its malt, hops and adjuncts. It’s just so damn drinkable, you have to stop yourself from swilling it down.

More like a berliner weisse than a saison, not that I really care about style. Feels really nice (and tastes), has that typical Hill Farmstead well-roundedness with delicate floral notes. Yum

Pour at de Garde 10th Anniversary. Pale golden, light cloudiness, patchy head with ample lacing. Aroma is yeasty and funky along with notes of citrus. Taste resembles the aroma along with a nice medium tartness. Smooth, grassy, enjoyable.
