Tootjainfo: "Morganton in Western North Carolina, today home of the Fonta Flora Brewery led by its creative mastermind Todd Boera, who gives emphasis to using local Appalachian ingredients in his beers whenever possible. Todd’s vision that ”fermentation is yet another medium for creating art” is much more than just a phrase, it’s the actual ideology behind the brewery. However, what few people outside the US know, is that this area plays an important role in American history. 500 years ago it was a proud mainstay of several native American chiefdoms. Joara being one of them, neigbouring Cofitachequi being another. This beer is named after the mythical chieftainness “The Lady of Cofitachequi” who is believed to be one of few – if not the only – female native American rulers. Taken prisoner by invading Spanish conquistadores, on an insatiable hunt for gold, this proud lady managed to escape and rejoin with her people. The invaders built several forts in an attempt to control the area, only to see them all destroyed and burned down by local warriors months later. Only one out of 120 Spaniards is said to have survived. The defeat effectively ended all Spanish attempts to colonize the area. The Lady and her fellow chieftains were again rulers of their own land.

Pean ütlema et see tootekirjeldus mulle tõesti meeldis :)

Keskmist kasvu pikakaelaline pudel, sildil relvis indiaani naine. Erkvalge vaht täidab pool klaasi, olles üsna püsimatu, kuid jättes vähest vahupitsi klaasiseintele. Õlle värvus - kirkalt tumedapoolne kollane. Aroom on mõnusalt tsitruseline, meenutades yuzut ja värskeltpressitud apelsinimahla.

Esmamekk on keskmise kehaga ja magusakas-mõrkjas, mahlane ja mulksuv. Keskmaitse mahlasus ületab kõik ootused - no värskeltpressitud mahl mis mahl! Ainult et seekord greibimahl ... punase greibi mahl! Lõppmaitse magusakas vürtsikus mängib kumkvaatide ja litšimarjadega, pudistades mahlaseid viljakesi sulle taskusse ja krae vahele. Järelmekk on mõrkjas-magusakas, mulisev ja sulisev nagu mahlakoseke, värske ja karge kui päikesetõus mägedes. Selles õlles on võlu ja väge!

Keskmise kehaga, mõõdukalt karboniseerunud paletiga, magusakas-mõrkjas-magusakas-hapukas-mõrkjas-hapukas-vürtsikas-mõrkja buketiga ÜBERTASANDI RÜÜBE! Oisapoiss, KUI mahlane see rüübe on. Parim meeldetuletus sellest, miks algselt IPA'desse ära armutakse. Kumkvaadikesi mulle palun!
