Barrique Brewing and Blending Nectarine Sipper
Other Styles 7.4 º
This sophisticated Brett Beer represents a masterfully blended wild ale, drawing character from Blonde, Saison, and Witbier barrels aged for 28 months. The sensory profile is defined by a vivid, sun-drenched interplay of Bradley nectarines and Karla Rose nectarines, offering lush stone fruit depth. These notes are brightened by the refreshing, botanical sweetness of Challenger watermelon juice and Sugar Baby watermelon pulp. The extensive maturation imparts a rustic Brettanomyces funk, weaving together scents of dried hay and damp earth. Highly attenuated and bone-dry, the beer features a nuanced grain structure and a delicate oak tannin finish that balances its bright fruit acidity.
Appearance. Pale gold with a distinct orange-copper glow from nectarine saturation; moderate white head with fine bubbles and fair retention; slight haze remains from fruit proteins and long barrel aging.
Aroma. High intensity of ripe nectarine skin and juicy peach, complemented by a subtle, cooling watermelon sweetness and green rind notes. Moderate funk presents as wet hay, barnyard, and a dusty cellar character, with faint peppery phenol and soft oak vanillin in the background.
Taste. Initial burst of tart nectarine flesh and subtle watermelon juice, quickly transitioning into a deeply attenuated, bone-dry mid-palate. Brettanomyces character provides earthy, leathery complexity without harshness. Low hop bitterness allows fruit-derived acidity and light wood tannins to provide structure. The finish is exceptionally clean, crisp, and lingering with a tart fruit-skin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation that provides a lively, scrubbing sensation. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present. Low astringency with a soft, vinous grip from the extended wood contact.
