Farmstead wheat ale aged in oak barrels with satsuma mandarins. Flora is the wine barrel aged version of Florence (1915-1967), our grandfather’s sister as well as the name of our wheat farmhouse ale. In her honor, amidst the fleeting days of summer, we chose to fill French oak wine barrels with Florence and store it away. After many months, a Biere de Table emerged.

This was awesome fresh. It's still pretty good now but just a shell of its former self since the oranges have almost completely faded away with age. Rating is based on 2013 tasting.

Tart, with oak. The oranges are there, but can tell they have faded. Would not make a priority to try. I can only wonder it was like fresh. The base flora was still good, but the added oranges imparted little flavor.
