I have just been reading up a little on flor yeast.

I work at a homebrew store, which carries flor yeast.

I've been thinking about trying it out in the realization of a beer.

Is this a totally imbecilic idea?

If not, are there any suggestions as to how it could be intelligently incorporated into a particular style and/or recipe?
 
It appears that this yeast contributes a ton of flavor components and is best suited to a sweet beverage. Try a small extract batch, lightly hopped, with a fair amount of light caramel/Carapils malt as steeping grain. Use the results to guide further recipes.
