La Belle Fleur is the base of our Single Farm series as a blend of Missouri farmhouse pale ale and Missouri saison co-fermented on house cultures and a blend of Brettanomyces. This expression was then refermented on mangoes and tangerines and then dry-hopped with Nelson hops.

Oooo side project got ripe mango without the acidity? Or rounded out by the tangerine sweetness? Whatever it is it's delish. Nice Brett and fruit funk.

Bottle shared at craft beer junction bermondsey tasting. Many thanks to Wingman. A hazed orange brushed gold coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is lovely tart funk. Peachy, tangerine, fresh funk, white grape, melon. Flavour is composed of pithy citrus, nectarine peach, floral citrus, fuzzy peach. Palate is semi sweet spicy, highish carbonation. Good.

Bottle shared at CBJ - cheers to Dave. Pourshazed orange-gold with a slight, creamy white head. Light sweet flavour with fresh peach, mellow acidity, some apricot, a little citric tang. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Fairly clean finish, mellow citrus, tangerine, peach. Curly balanced and drinkable.

On tap at Side Project Cellar. Hazy yellow with medium white head. Funky, fruity, citrus, tropical, tangerine, nice brett, somewhat juicy and refreshing, yet complex. Beautiful.

Cellar draught, 9/17/23. Odd orange juice consistency, fresh squeezed. No head. Brett with light tangerine rind. Mineral, white grape. It's earthy, crusty, fruity, rustic, clean. Juicy and tropical. Mega juicy, almost watermelon-like, with the Brett and mango melding into a really crazy melon flavor. Rustic grains, heavy mineral, light funk and some zesty zip from tangerine. Lingering funk, heavy Brett and mega tropical character yielding interesting mango-melon notes. It's a complete departure from the base beer but a really well-done and interesting fruit beer in its own right.

On tap at the SP Cellar. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with small white head that lasts. The aroma is grass, tangerine, floral, mineral. Slick body, tangerine, mineral, grass, nice tartness, enjoyed this.
