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.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a very vibrant yellow-orange color with a thick white head. Aroma was a blast of coriander and green tea. Powerful orange peel aroma. Flavor has so much lemon/orange to it. Actually Pretty good, in a very strange way.

[1/31/16] Bottle sample at a hotel lobby bottle share during RBWG 2016 in Santa Rosa. Cloudy pale yellow. Aroma of apples, smoked wood, wheat. Dry flavor, tart, with apples, wood, funk, a bit of smokiness. Lively carbonation. Nice.

Bottle @ home thanks to jcnielsen for sending. Tasted alongside Casey Plum Fruit Stand and Casey Plum Fruit Preserves. Dull, cloudy dark golden orange color with a lasting tan head. Aroma is full of plums, green herbs, weeds, acetic acid, flowers, sour cherries, and grapes. Lightly sour. A bit of lactic acid in the mouth but it is more acetic forward. Dull plum flavor with some flowers and grass and yogurt. No burn on the finish. Sort of fun to drink but I probably wouldn’t purchase another bottle. Thanks Justin!
