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.

$4.94 pint can from Appalachian, canned 3/18. Sweet. Iffy price but I like me some fresh Fonta.
Pint glass at home. Dull, pale, filtered gold, decent head, dirty lace.
Herbal & spicy lemon nose.
Mellow herbal, lemon verbena, honey, light cracker, a little pith. Kinda west coast-lite.
Lightweight to low carb, touch of boozy bite. Some starch keeping it from being too thin.
Okay.

Can, 6.2% ABV. Very dark brown, a dense cm of light tan head. Gentle roasty aroma with bread, mocha, hints of berries, mere suggestions of smoke. Creamy texture. Smoke is more obvious upon a taste; the salt is more a hardness beneath the light, creamy texture. Crackery bread. Moderate roast, decent bitterness, salty end. Nothing dominates and it's almost like everything is a distraction from everything else. Clever.

Interesting idea—IPA + carrots!—but the execution is just kinda odd, with muted hop notes against an earthy-floral carrot sweetness and a touch of pine on the back end. Worth trying but one is plenty.

Finding a lot of tasty WCIPAs lately and Your Tai is no exception. Notes of dank, melon, stone fruit, orange, and mango, with a mineral-pine bitterness on the back end. Good beer.

Bottle shared with others. Pours a clear yellow gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has tart lemon and raspberry with light grain and funk underlying. Flavor has a nice rich tart raspberry with a bit of sweet grains and a light funky note.

Helluva pedigree, but seems to fall a little short of greatness. Notes of papaya, grapefruit, white grape, and a touch of melon, followed by a slight mineral bitterness but not a whole lot else on the back end. Easy-drinking, but could use a little more West coast.

Can shared by SaltyGrog at Chapel Hill tasting: Poured a yellow semi-translucent with a white head that’s dissipated to a ring. Aroma is nice hops bouquet, fruit, citrus, orange. Nice hops forward taste, but then subdued to citrus and grain.
