    So im looking to land a bottle of regular Flora but haven't seen it traded much (maybe its just that scarce).

    Not sure when the last release of it was or what the bottle count and price were but it seems like it should be close with Fermier B2.

    Am I way off with this? I have a feeling I am, with how much the variant bottles are pulling.

    Flora trades for as much or more than Blueberry Flora I think. I would trade a SdF b2 for a Flora (or a Blueberry Flora for that matter) in a heartbeat and I have both beers currently. That makes me think it won't get done.

    Not a chance - I doubt 2:1 would get done.

    Flora gonna Flora... fantastic beer but just too scarce at this point. Maybe wait until the next batch comes out?

    At this point having had both of them, I'd say keep your Fermier. I would take Fermier 7 times out of 10 if presented the choice between the two.

    I certainly respect your opinion, and having had both we draw from similar experience. But I would be on the other side of your example, except instead of 7/10 it would be a 10/10 for Flora.

    I appreciate that, I certainly also respect your opinion as well. I definitely can see it going both ways. Perhaps it depends on how much white wine character you want in your saison, as that was the main difference between the two for me.

    Well, thanks for the help guys.
    Kind of what I figured. But this discussion over which is better is making want flora even more. HA.

    When was flora last release and what were the bottle counts?

    Nobody ever really knows the bottle counts for HF - aside from maybe the dandelion pickers.

    late last summer was the release of b5. Limit 1 and not sure of the bottle count. Been trying to land one for a while myself and haven't had any luck. I offered Pulling Nails+Beat b5+Nocturn and didn't even get a nibble. Currently thinking up a bigger offer, if that helps.
