Side Project Brewing Fuzzy (Blend #4)
Other Styles 8 º
This Missouri Wild Ale presents a masterful marriage of aggressive native microflora and delicate Missouri-grown white peaches. The sensory journey begins with a vibrant bouquet of sun-ripened stone fruit, intertwined with a complex, rustic funk evocative of sun-bleached hay and earthy cellar notes. More than a year of maturation in Chardonnay barrels imparts a sophisticated vinous depth and soft oak tannins. On the palate, a bright, citrus-like acidity balances the soft fruit profile, leading to a remarkably dry and effervescent finish. The interplay of Brettanomyces-driven funk and elegant peach aromatics defines this exceptionally refined Brett Beer.
Appearance. Pours a glowing deep gold (SRM 6-8) with a fine-beaded, creamy white head that exhibits moderate retention. The appearance is characterized by a soft, attractive haze from the extensive use of white peaches and native fermentation.
Aroma. High intensity aromatics of fresh, floral white peaches and fuzzy fruit skins dominate the nose. This is layered with a complex, rustic funk profile featuring notes of wet hay, aged leather, and dusty earth. Subtle vinous notes of white grape, lemon zest, and toasted oak from the Chardonnay barrels add a sophisticated secondary layer.
Taste. Initial impression is a bright, refreshing acidity that carries the plush, juicy flavor of white peaches across the palate. The malt character is minimal, offering a light, wheaty foundation that yields to native microflora-driven flavors of hay and subtle spice. Hop bitterness is very low, as the structural balance is provided by bright acidity and a touch of oak tannin. The finish is bone-dry and crisp with a lingering stone fruit aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, sparkling carbonation that creates a prickly, refreshing sensation. Despite the 8% ABV, the alcohol warmth is subtle and well-integrated. The beer possesses a soft, almost velvety texture from the fruit that transitions into a clean, dry finish with no harsh astringency.
