Description
Fonta Flora Brewery integrates the soul of agriculture with the artisanship of zymurgy to create a menagerie of rustic and savory libations. With an emphasis on seasonal flora, Fonta Flora brings English tradition and Belgian inspiration to the Appalachian mountains of North Carolina.

Fonta Flora utilizes local artists to help conceptualize the notion that fermentation is yet another medium for creating art. This uniquely artisan approach to beer yields a sustainable product filled with culture from our very own community.

(On tap @ CBC 2016 Yellow Session, Copenhagen) Pours orange to salmon coloured with a head of loose white bubbles. Nose is semi-sweet with light acidic notes, lots of beets, quite leafy as well, feels like beet salad with vinagrette. Flavour is again lots of beets, light tart acidity, really leafy and herbal, leading to quite a dry crisp finish with leafy green bittering hops. Low malt core, pretty much all beet. Very crisp and dry aftertaste, short and sharp. Light bodied. I wasn’t so into how the beets fit in, but it was decently drinkable.

Bottle split at RB Best Hotel Lobby Share, post festival, 31/01/16. Pale yellow with a moderate off white head. Nose is pissy citric rinds, lemon curd, straw, light funk. Taste comprises lemon rind, lightly singed straw, faint yeast, light acidic bibble, hay bale. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Middle of the road kind of saison ... didn’t really come together for me.
