This Wild Specialty Beer showcases the vibrant interplay between a rustic golden sour base and lush organic peach. The sensory experience is dominated by the fragrance of sun-ripened peaches, skin and all, melding seamlessly with the complex funk of a wild fermentation. Earthy notes of hay and a delicate barnyard character provide a grounded counterpoint to the bright, acidic fruit profile. On the palate, the organic peach refermentation contributes a juicy stone fruit essence while stripping away residual sugar, resulting in a bone-dry, crisp finish that highlights a sophisticated mastery of wood-aged souring and fruit integration.
Appearance.Deep gold with a soft orange hue from the fruit; persistent haze is present. The white head forms quickly but recedes to a thin collar with minimal lacing, common in beers with high acidity.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of fresh, fuzzy peach skins and nectarine. Beneath the fruit lies a complex wild character featuring Brettanomyces notes of damp hay, aged leather, and a sharp, clean lactic acidity that brightens the bouquet.
Taste.Immediate sharp lactic sourness balanced by a rich, authentic peach flavor. The fermentation of the fruit sugars leaves a lean, dry profile where fruit esters shine without cloying sweetness. Negligible hop bitterness allows the acidic bite and subtle wood-derived tannins to provide structure, finishing very clean with a lingering stone fruit tartness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a brisk, effervescent carbonation that dances on the tongue. A very slight tannic astringency from the peach refermentation enhances the dryness and provides a refreshing, mouth-watering quality.
