Flora is the wine barrel-aged version of Florence, our grandfather’s sister, as well as the name of our Farmstead® wheat ale. In her honor, we fill French oak wine barrels with Florence and allow the beer to mature in the presence of our resident microflora. After extended aging, a beautifully complex beer emerges; Florence becomes Flora.

Bottle shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of foam that lingers. Lovely vinous nose with some funky yeast, citrus and apricot notes. More vinous muscat on the palate with tart lemon, apricot and cracked malt. Smooth and clean with a crisp and bright finish. Lingering vinous muscat tartness with berry and apricot notes. Lovely.

Quintessence. Unclear paleish yellow. Yoghurt, saison and stables funk, berry, herbs, oak. Medium, pinching sour, some fruit and yeast flavours, a bit one dimensional. Still good.

Säuerlicher, mild salziger Beginn. Fein würzig, die Säure bleibt intensiv. Spritzig, etwas plump, wenig bitter. Okay. 10/8/8/9//8

(Bottle sample @ Quintessence 2018, Cantillon, May 1/18) Pours nearly clear pale gold with a tight white head. Notes of bright zesty citrus, meadow flowers, fresh grass, white wine, bright balanced lactic acidity with a hint of wine vinegar, light to moderate hay-like Brett funk, a little cereal, wooden accents. Moderately tart, decent bitterness, drier mineral finish, super crisp. Medium mouthfeel with low sparkling carbonation. Beautiful stuff, a supremely balanced and complex saison that's bright and easy to quaff. Would love more of this.
