Notes via stream of consciousness: Having returned to Johnny's Off License at the Campo del Fiori in search of more beers from Ca' del Brado I was disappointed to learn that they'd all been sold, but I was at least confident that they would steer me in the right direction. This version of Sourflowers utilizes the flowers of the Robinia tree (or Acacia or Locust), which is interesting in that it was originally brought from the United States (Virginia) to Paris in 1601, and then later to Italy in 1662. It pours a hazy yellow body beneath a short-lived head of white that leaves no lacing behind - although that's common for sour beers. There is nothing particularly interesting about the aroma, it's just a basic lightly acidic golden malt with a dusting of minerals, but the flavor is beautiful. The acidity is light and it's just mildly tart, and the softly sweetish malt follows entwined with the floral character, some apple, perhaps a hint of pear, subtle apricot, and barely a spritz of lemon. It's delicate, and quite refined. There doesn't appear to be more than just a kiss on the cheek of bitterness to it, yet none is needed even if the acidity is light as it simply fades from the palate like a spirit, leaving you with nothing but the memory of a light floral note and the desire to take another sip. It's medium-light in body and soft and smooth with a minimal carbonation. Fascinating! It's easily one of the most charming beers that I've encountered in years, and yet it seems like next to nothing at the first sip - proof that a beer doesn't have to be bold to be brilliant! No, this is a Lorelei that will draw you in, beckoning you closer and closer until you wreck yourself on the reef - it's only 5.5% abv but it's so tempting that you'll need to keep your wits about you. Absolutely worth seeking out!
