Fonta Flora Brewery

This Appalachian-inspired wild ale captures the essence of Barbee Farms peaches through a complex, spontaneous fermentation. A bright, stone-fruit vibrancy leads the profile, supported by the rustic, earthy funk characteristic of Brettanomyces. The spontaneous fermentation introduces layers of hay, floral honey, and a delicate, dusty minerality that reflects the local terroir. Effervescent and bone-dry, the beer showcases a sophisticated balance between the succulent sweetness of sun-ripened peaches and a sophisticated, leather-and-funk depth. It is a refined Brett Beer that highlights the harmony between wild microflora and fresh, seasonal fruit harvests.

Appearance. Pale gold to soft amber (4–7 SRM) with a slight, natural haze from the peach addition. Forms a moderate, white, fine-beaded head with fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics defined by ripe peach skin and juicy stone fruit. Underlying complexity features moderate Brettanomyces funk, manifesting as wet hay, aged leather, and a hint of dusty earth. Very low malt aroma, reminiscent of cracker, with no perceived hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression of natural peach sweetness quickly transitions to a bone-dry finish. Prominent stone fruit flavors meld with rustic fermentation notes of barnyard and floral esters. Bitterness is very low, allowing a light, non-lactic acidity to provide crispness. The aftertaste is clean, lingering with fruit pith and a subtle, funky earthiness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, sparkling carbonation that provides a refreshing prickle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated. Smooth and highly attenuated with no astringency.
