Flor
Mills Brewing

Flor is a fine example of keeping things simple. Blended from two old Herefordshire cider barrels containing one brew made in February 2023.

The grist was composed of pale malted barley and wheat in equal proportions. One large addition of fresh unaged hops came at the beginning of the boil to give a refined and crystal-clear bitter finish, while leaving space for the flavours of fermentation to come to the fore.

The wort was filled into two old oak barrels from cider and perry maker Tom Oliver and left untouched to spontaneously ferment for two years.

The resulting beer was primed with cane sugar and left to carbonate naturally in the bottle for six months. The finished beer is polished and delicate.
