About This Beer
If you live outside of North Carolina, you might not know about its vibrant local food scene. But to taste its essence, look no further than Fonta Flora’s Dandy Pale.
No matter where you are, one sip and you’ll hear Appalachia calling.
Tasting Notes
Brewer Todd Boera crafted this beauty using locally grown barley, rye and spelt malts, and wild yeast captured from foraged dandelion flowers. It’s hopped with a blend of Tettnanger, Saaz, Kohatu and German-grown Perle, then mixed using the solera method – a heritage technique that deepens complexity by blending fresh beers with a continuously built-upon base of mature Ales.
Finally, he conditioned Dandy Pale with brettanomyces yeast, lending it a light, dry, sparkling character.
The result is all sunny fields, with aromas of citrusy florals and dashes of peppery spice and barnyard funk on the palate.
