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.

19oz stein at Whippoorwill. Made with pecan wood. Clear, pale gold, creamy, lingering head. Weak sweet smoke, sweet grain. Taste is oaty, lemon, slight tang, significant maple smoke, wheat-y finish. Surprising acid. Probably had this before. Internet says no. Very solid.

Clear single from Appalachian; $4.53, a whole 14 cents cheaper than the Paloma. Pint glass at home. Intense, peppery sweet cherry nose, slight savory veggie note. Twangy sweet cherries, sweet n sour, lemon, a little vinegar-y, hibiscus floral, lingering cherry skin. Sea salt blends right in. Strong flavors. High acid, strong tartness, medium low soda carb, semi-sweet. Okay to good. Needs some harsher carb. Not very refreshing like other variants.

Single from Appalachian. Canned on 5/7, in the fridge since 6/14. Pint glass at home. Partially jellied, dusty, weak protein haze. It's starting to clear a bit but will stay somewhat obscured. Dull medium gold. Tall, bleach white rocky foam but it doesn't last. Active. Leafy, orange, honeysuckle & melon nose; calcium. Semi-sweet breakfast cereal grain. Taste is strong with melon rind & green table grapes with potent & lingering green tea astringency. Very slight lemon. Spike of bitter summer lettuce on the drying finish. Slight body, bright, good acidity, boozy taste for just 4%. Surprisingly good but too pricey at nearly $5 for a pounder after tax.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Clear copper color. Frothy tan head dissipates to a small cap. Earthy, toasted malt aroma. Some dried fruits as well. Sweet toffee flavor upfront. Rich and malty with obvious notes of rye grain and red fruits. Moderately smooth. Some nuttiness on backend.
