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.

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.

Bouteille @ Quintessence 2018. Dorée sur un léger voile, col fin blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet fruité, finement citronné avec un rétro fleuri, léger boisé et once d'effluves quasi tropicales. Palais garde une approche de sèche, grains, saison américaine avec un léger funk, pointe de citronné sur un fini céréales, malt pils qui rajoute à cette note sèche de fin de bouche.

Bottle. Hazy golden with white head. Aroma is vineous, white grapes, barrel funk. Taste is grape skin, quite very tannic, unripe berries, barrel funk. Oily mouthfeel with low carbonation. Good, but a bit overdone.

Bottle shared at kermis' birthday, huge thanks to mariuspoenari!! Hazy light golden with short lasting white head. Some lemon, yoghurt, sweet white grapes, funk, spicy yeast, apricot, pomelo, soft grains, starfruits, gooseberries. Very fruity, light herbs and grains but here the yeast and barrel really shine. Medium sweet and sour and light bitter. Bit over medium bodied with soft spritzy carbonation. Absolutely lovely lovely stuff.
