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.

A yellow beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of lemon, straw, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeast, spices, hops, and wheat, leading to a dry wheaty finish with a hint of brettanomyces and wood.

Bottle, shared by Papsoe. It’s an almost clear one, golden in color and with a dense, off-white head on top. Some lacings. The aroma has a fruityness and some yeast hints. Brett and a cellar touch too. Orange notes. Pleasantly carbonated, full-bodied and dry. Orange, brett, generic fruityness, some alcohol-like notes, considering the ABV I guess it’s rather some by-products from the fermentation. Long finish with fruityness, orange and brett. A very refreshing one, tasteful too. Gimme more. 110418

Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of kristina/grassrootsvt. Pours golden with a slight haze and a creamy and rich white head leaving some lacework. Dry, Bretty nose, very fresh and flowery. Medium body with a dry fruitiness, spicy, dry yeastiness but far from overly yeast - thankfully. The finish is dry, very dry. This is almost like a fresh, young Orval. Perfectly balanced. Very well made Shaun. 170411 & 260511
