FlyBrew Peaching Altitude is an elegant Brett Beer defined by a year of maturation in oak barrels. The mixed fermentation imparts a sophisticated complexity, marrying the bright, succulent sweetness of sun-ripened peaches with a nuanced funky depth. Effervescent and dry, the palate showcases a harmony of delicate stone fruit esters and earthy Brettanomyces notes reminiscent of hay and leather. The barrel aging adds a layer of soft vanilla and structured tannin, balancing the light, non-lactic acidity. This blend results in a sophisticated, rustic profile that celebrates the beautiful interplay between fresh fruit and time-softened funk.

Appearance. Luminous golden to light amber hue (SRM 6-9) with a persistent slight haze from the peach solids. Topped by a fine-beaded, off-white head with moderate retention and light lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aromatics of ripe yellow peach and apricot integrated with rustic barnyard funk, wet hay, and a touch of dusty earth. Subtle oak nuances of toasted vanilla provide a sturdy backbone, while low spicy phenols complement the fruity esters.

Taste. Initial burst of tart peach skin and juicy stone fruit transitions into a complex, dry middle. Brettanomyces character is prominent but integrated, offering notes of leather and horse blanket. Bitterness is low, allowing the crisp finish to shine. Malt character is minimal, providing cracker-like support for the vibrant fruit and light barrel tannins.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high attenuation and a crisp finish. High, prickly carbonation enhances the perception of dryness. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated; a faint wood-derived tannic astringency is present.
