I love that this beer is available at Liberty wine stores in Vancouver and yet only reviewed by one other BA (in Belgium). Well this is a nice honey tinged Spring beer with a clean fresh bite that reminds me of a Saison. The floral notes arose a bit when the beer warmed up but this really a lighter Belgian beer that will please the sick of winter palate

Presentation: Friday 9th April, 2004 was spent in Binche, Belgium, the home of Brasserie La Binchoise. Sadly our planned trip to both the Brewery and on-premises Tavern proved fruitless thanks to the fact that it was closed.
After a few beers in the nearby Du Côte De Chez Boule our small party headed into the main square. Here we sampled some brews at La Chamade whilst looking at the many pictures of the Carnival that adorns the walls. La Binchoise Flora Bière de Printemps was the second and was from the Bottle.
Appearance: Arrived in a tall 75cl brown glass bottle, cork and caged, which was shared between a few of us. Poured a light but ruddy amber color with a very light haze at first, which got stronger as we worked our way down the bottle. Off-white head is voluminous at first but soon rescinds to just a finger covering. Good carbonation means that a quick swirl helps to prevent the head disappearing completely.
Nose: Sweet malts, light honeyed nose and a spicy yeast odor. Has a very Easter Beer feel to it thanks to the honey like sweetness set in the malts.
Taste: Reasonably easy to dissect this one, my notes were brief and to the point. Malt grain start, yeasty malts throughout, sweet middle, dry finish spicy aftertaste. Zesty Orange peel [again?] on the tongue once swallowed. Thats about it really.
Mouthfeel: The Flora has an average Amber Ale feel from start to finish. Never really gets big but neither does it let one down, it does what it has to, but no more. Spicy creamy feel in the beginning, dry malty finish.
Drinkability: I loved the dry finish; it actually encouraged me to take the next mouthful a little quicker than I normally would. The 75cl was quickly shared amongst our party with little complaint.
Overall: After the disastrous encounter with the La Binchoise Rose des Remparts, even the Waitress looked a little more relieved at the fact that we chose to drink this Binchoise offering next. So were we!
A Spring beer that is often referred to as an Easter brew, this proved to be a good above average offering during our Easter visit, but nothing special in the long haul.
