Biere de Norma
Lightly tart and floral, with the character of barrel aging. Hill Farmstead crafts this Bière de Mars from American malted barley and Farmstead ale yeast, then conditions it in wine barrels with its resident microflora until it is ready, at 7%. The name honors Norma (1939–2011), the brewer's maternal grandmother, whom he calls his guardian angel.
