Notes:
Florence (1915-1967) was our grandfather’s sister, and Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to her and her 13 siblings. In her honor, this Belgian inspired Wheat ale is crafted from American malted barley, Organic Vermont wheat, European and American hops, our distinctive farmhouse yeast and water from our well. It is unfiltered and naturally carbonated. Soft, cloudy, and fresh, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Florence.

Pale Malt; Vermont Organic Wheat; American and European Hops; Ale Yeast, and our Well Water.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25

pours a hazy bright straw yellow, big puffy white head. eventually fades to light retention.

sharp floral hops and lively wheat, very forward

flavors are fairly light through out. a dominating wheat and malt body carry through out. a faint and light floral hop presence ads a crispness that pops the flavors in your mouth.

lots of sharp carbonation, adds to flavor, keeps it interesting. light as can be.

good, very good. if i lived near HF, i would drink many. not something i would trade for again most likely but overall very good.
