Fliärblome

Tap to rate

Fliärblome is the brewery's Aoltbeer with elderflowers, picked close to the farm and briefly macerated in the beer. Pollen on the blossoms set off a spontaneous fermentation, and the beer then matured for seventeen months in oak. Like every Aoltbeer it is a mixed-fermentation sour with a vinous character, and the brewery sees a kinship with gueuze and Berliner Weisse. Expect citrus fruit, floral elderflower and hay over a crisp, refreshing acidity and a dry finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright citrus notes—lemon and grapefruit pith—followed by delicate floral character from the elderflower maceration. Beneath lies a subtle hay and dried-grass undertone, with hints of vinous complexity from the extended oak maturation. The overall impression is restrained and inviting, free from aggressive funk.

◐ Taste

The palate enters clean and crisp, with the citrus notes from the aroma translating to a light, juicy character. Acidity carries the mid-palate with refreshing sharpness, while the elderflower adds a subtle botanical dryness. Minimal bitterness (10 IBU) allows the mixed fermentation character and wine-like notes to emerge, finishing bone-dry without harshness.
