From the brewer

This golden sour ale captures the flavors of summer bloom in California. We began by brewing our base farmhouse ale with an added 1,000 pounds of aromatic wildflower honey. Handpicked lavender grown at Eatwell Farms in Dixon, California was then added to each oak barrel as it aged, creating this funky, floral delight. Finished with a touch of coriander, ginger, and grains of paradise, a hint of minerality provides a complex backdrop of citrus, bosc pear, and aromatic botanicals. Serve with rosemary rack of lamb, ripe Taleggio cheese, and roasted pear salad.

Oddly, this tastes more like a pina colada sour (strongly pineapple; coconut impression could believably be a result of honey & diacetyls). Little to no funk. Less floral than I'd have expected. Still, this was interesting and quite tasty.
