Location: Draft at the brewery, 1/4/15
Aroma: Has a fairly light aroma, with yeast/spice and beat notes
Appearance: It has a bright red poor, with a small white head
Flavor: Lighter flavor as well, it is not particularly bitter or sweet, fairly simple
Palate: It has a drinkable, clean feel, and a softer carbonation compared to the other saisons
Overall Impression: I thought this one was pretty interesting. Not an overpowering beet flavor at all. It's more in the color than anything else. Good mouthfeel that is more dissimilar to the other saisions I had here than any of the others were to the group as a whole.

Palate: It has a fairly lively carbonation, and a dry, tingly finish
Overall Impression: This one is almost a saison/gose hybrid. Which is kind of a brilliant idea. I really enjoyed it.

Location: Draft at the brewery, 1/4/15
Aroma: It has a yeast aroma, with some light funky note
Appearance: Pours a clear gold color, with a small white head, and light lace
Flavor: It has a mildly sweet flavor, much like the nose, some brett notes, and a light bitterness
Palate: This beer has a decent amount of body, and a fairly tingly feel
Overall Impression: It makes for a flavorful Grisette. I actually quite enjoyed drinking this. As a concept, and in execution of this beer, Fonta Flora works great in my opinion.

Keg at Thirsty Monk - Asheville, NC during RBWG 2014. Pours rich brown with a creamy tan head. Very tasty, with light cocoa notes, toasted bread. Very drinkable. Medium bodied with average carbonation and creamy mouthfeel. Balanced finish with further toasted bread, light dry caramel, mild earthy bitterness. Solid.

Tulip draft pour at Good Bottle Company in Charlotte, North Carolina. The pour is clear red, with a pink head that falls fast. The aroma is earthy mineral beet, along with some light sweet. The taste is the earthy sweetness of the beet right away, really natural clean flavors that turn towards earth and yeast in the finish. The palate is medium bodied, heavier than I would have expected, with a earth finish. Interesting and well executed.

Bottle in Vail with jcnielsen. Thanks Justin! Pours a murky yellow orange appearance with a white head. Quite herbal and floral nose with some citrus, grass, honey, yeast, and light banana. Somewhat twangy, banana flavor with some white flowers, spicy yeast, white pepper, and cloves. Ok.
