    How is vintage flora tasting compared to fresh?

    I had a bottle of the February 2012 batch back in August. It was...flat out amazing. It was holding up and then some.

    For me, Flora is the best beer that Hill Farmstead makes. I wish I had an endless supply of it.

    I agree with this. Flora is one of my top 5 beers. Right up there with lente Ddg and Isabelle

    What about Vera Mae and Arthur or any other non ba saison? I always have a hard time not drinking them up but has anyone had an older batch recently?

    I had batch 1 Flora (Dec 2010) on tap at Farmhouse this summer the weekend of brewfest. It was good, but not nearly as good as the 2012 Arthur that was also pouring. I usually perfer all the HF saisons with a minimum 6 months on them and ideally a year (Anna, Arthur, Clara, etc), but the batch 5 Flora I had a few weeks ago was as good as any HF I've had. My experience tells me it will get even better, but I'm honestly not sure how it can.

    I have a batch 4 that I'll probably open sooner than later. Any idea of when batch 4 was released?

    Batch 2 is freaking amazing. Very blue cheese funk in a good way. Sitting on my last bottle.
