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.

17 oz. can from Total Wine in Greenville, SC. Thanks Kathy! Pours a mostly clear gold color with a white head and good retention. Very little lacing. Pale malt aroma. Very bready pale malt flavor with a smooth and clean finish. Very repeatable. Despite the name, this is a Festbier, not a Marzen. No caramel notes. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Low bitterness. Good beer.

Can from Tavour. Pours slightly translucent amber with a decent creamy tan head. Cinnamon wafts from the pour. Med body. Rather dry and cinnamon fills in for bitterness. There's a large veg component that does suggest sweet potato.

Well I wrote a review clicked save and it all disappeared. Mild aromas of citrus, resin and malt. Slightly sweet but balanced with enough carbonation and bitter. Decent but nothing special. Pretty close to what I wrote before. Hopefully this one survives.

Hazy golden yellow with moderate but short lasting head. Banana, lemon, clove, sour milk, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Moderately sweet banana, lemon, sour milk, wheat malt, and lightly bitter straw flavor. Good body.

Draft at Armsby Abby. Flat gold with minor topping. Nose is herbal and flora and odd elixir. Tastes of peppery notes, herbs, florals, white wine, litter box. Didn’t know cat nip in mid no wonder I was going crazy swatting at bartender.

2020 vintage listed.

Murky amber strawberry goblet shared with my wife in Nebo.
Oily cooked strawberry & straw funk.
Tart green strawberry, lemon lime, cider vinegar, straw.
Crazy acetic, extra irritating carb, punchy abv.
I might have had this before.

Swung hard. Foul ball down the line. Maybe this was better fresh.

Goblet in Nebo with my wife for the pawpaw event. Chalkboard didn't list the abv. :/

Oily brown on black coffee goblet pour.
Heavy vanilla & fruity black cake nose; boozy fumes.
Boozy maple vanilla, black cake, slightly nutty, chocolate frosting, faint herbal bitterness(not enough), sticky lips.
Mellow abv despite the initial nose.

Too sweet.

On tap for paw paw fest at the Nebo farm with my wife.

Mgd classy, oily gold, lingering film.
Dank & pawpaw mango nose.
Marigold, herbal bitterness, oily onion, some white wine, some astringency on the tail, lingering herbage.
Crispy, irritating acid, a little stiff.
Slightly better than the OG.

Good.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy, milky yellow pour, small foamy head eventually erodes away. Fruity aroma, faint dank notes, hint of strength. Taste is tropical (mostly), light stone fruit, traces of citrus zest. Mouthfeel leans toward thick. Fast finish.
