Vera Mae was our grandfather's eldest sister; Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to her and her 13 siblings. In her honor, this Farmstead® ale is crafted from Vermont organic spelt, American hops, Vermont wildflower honey, dandelion flowers from our fields, our farmhouse yeast and water from our well. Aged in French oak wine barrels and bottled conditioned, the result is an elegant, luminescent representation of spring in Vermont: lightly tart, bright, effervescent and delicate—passing quickly while leaving just the slightest, most pleasing memory of sunshine, warmth and the promise of more. Best enjoyed chilled between 45-50F.

Pours a lightly hazy, pale golden yellow, with big, frothy white head. Aroma is wine, wood, sour fruit, wild yeast. Flavors follow. Mouthfeel is fairly clean and crisp. Tasty and refreshing.

Pours bit unclear blonde. No real head. Scent is sharp, some phenols. Mild honey. Taste is lightly acidic, sharp and dry. Mild honey. pretty complex. Very refined and quite lovely indeed.
