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.

Easy-drinking (if mildly potent) WCIPA, with a melon-white grape-tropical punch hoppiness offset by a modest pine-mineral bitterness and lingering grape in the finish. Good but a little more bitter edge would be nice.

750ml @ SF shared with Brian, Phill, and Ryan.
Aroma: tad bolder than Eagle Rare / Sazerac version, less boozy, a lot of American oak.
Taste: along the same lines, more round and bold than another variant.
Overall: nice one, somewhat better than 2nd variant.

Poured from 750mL bottle (batch 1; bottled Dec 2023; blue label, burgundy wax). Side by side with Weller & Buffalo Trace variant. Very dark brown with small beige head. More neutral bourbon, slightly boozier and a touch more body, dark sugars. Prefer the body of this one, but the bourbon flavours of the other. Needs to be blended.

Poured from 750mL bottle (batch 1; bottled Dec 2023; pink label, blue wax). Side by side with Eagle Rare & Sazarac variant. Very dark brown with small beige head. Woody bourbon, more of a medium body, dark sugars. Prefer the bourbon taste on this one, but the body of the other. Needs to be blended.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear brown with a small tan head. Nutty malty aroma. Arguably med body. Sort of dry. Lightly bitter. More chestnut than I'd really like. Bits of semi-dark malt and chocolate.

Nice notes of red apple, toasted bread, caramel, and subtle smoke. Finishes with a gentle floral bitterness and lingering cherrywood smoke into the fade. Tasty.
