This Brett Beer presents an elegant fusion of rustic wild character and lush stone fruit. Vivid notes of fresh sun-ripened peaches dominate the initial impression, supported by the complex, funky nuances of Brettanomyces. Aromas of damp hay, apricot, and subtle tropical fruit lead into a palate that is strikingly dry and highly attenuated. The peach esters provide a perceived sweetness that is quickly balanced by a light, refreshing acidity and earthy undertones. Crisp and lively, this American Wild Ale showcases a masterful balance between fruit-forward brightness and the evolving depth of a well-integrated wild fermentation.
Appearance.Deep gold to soft orange (6–9 SRM) with a persistent, fine-beaded white head that leaves delicate lacing. Substantial haze is present, consistent with the use of whole fruit and wild yeast.
Aroma.High intensity. Potent aromas of fresh peach skins and juicy yellow fruit are primary. Secondary layers reveal classic Brettanomyces character including wet hay, a touch of barnyard funk, and light floral notes. Malt is low, providing a cracker-like backdrop.
Taste.The initial impression is a burst of stone fruit and peach flesh. Very dry on the palate with minimal malt sweetness. Hop bitterness is low, allowing a faint, refreshing tartness to shine. Fermentation character is complex, featuring earthy funk and tropical esters. The finish is crisp, clean, and lingering with peach esters.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high carbonation that provides a prickly, champagne-like effervescence. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated at 6.5% ABV. No significant astringency; smooth but highly attenuated.
