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.
