Flower Power is a refreshing Straight Sour Beer that marries a sharp, clean lactic acidity with the delicate botanical nuances of yarrow. The appearance is a pale, effervescent straw with a hazy complexion and a lively white head. Aromatically, the beer leads with intense lemon and tart apple esters, layered over a subtle foundation of crackery Pilsner malt. The addition of yarrow (Achillée Millefeuille) introduces a unique herbal and floral complexity, reminiscent of dried chamomile and spice, which persists through the dry, crisp finish. With its light body and high carbonation, this gruit-inspired sour offers a sophisticated and invigorating sensory experience.

Appearance. Very pale straw color (2-3 SRM). Clarity ranges from clear to slightly hazy. Large, dense, white head with poor to moderate retention; highly effervescent with visible rising bubbles.

Aroma. High intensity lactic sourness that is clean and sharp. Moderate fruity esters of lemon, green apple, and white peach. Low bready and crackery malt notes. Distinctive herbal, floral, and slightly spicy botanical character derived from the yarrow. No hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is a dominant, clean lactic acidity. Low grainy and bready malt flavor provides a brief support. No hop bitterness or flavor. The yarrow provides a unique herbal depth with faint peppery and floral notes. Clean fermentation profile with no vinegar or funk. Finish is very dry and crisp with a lingering lemony tartness.

Mouthfeel. Light body with high carbonation. Noticeable crisp acidity that prickles the palate. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated. Smooth, with no astringency.
