The Rare Barrel Sweet Splash
Fruit Lambic 8.1 º
This Wild Specialty Beer showcases the vibrant, stone-fruit-forward character of yellow nectarines and yellow peaches integrated into a complex mixed-fermentation base. The Rare Barrel’s signature acidity provides a sharp, lemony brightness that underscores the juicy, floral aromatics of the fruit. Aging in oak barrels introduces subtle structure and faint vanillins, balancing the Brettanomyces-driven funk of damp hay and soft leather. At 8.1% ABV, a gentle warmth supports the palate, leading to a bone-dry, mouth-watering finish where the lingering essence of sun-ripened fruit skins and tannic wood notes intertwine elegantly without any residual sugar.
Appearance. Deep gold to soft amber (SRM 6-9) with a slight haze; a thin, white head forms briefly but dissipates quickly into a fine rim with minimal lacing.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant scents of ripe yellow nectarine and fuzzy peach skin are layered over a complex wild bouquet of pineapple esters, dusty barnyard funk, and a sharp lactic tang. Neutral oak and a hint of cracker-like malt provide a steady base.
Taste. A bracing initial tartness gives way to succulent peach and nectarine flavors that lean toward the acidic and floral. Fermentation character is prominent, featuring lemony acidity and earthy funk. Hop bitterness is negligible (IBU <10), while the finish is exceptionally dry with a lingering fruit-skin astringency and subtle oak tannin.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation that cleanses the palate. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, accompanied by a slight puckering astringency from the fruit and barrel contact.
