Quick-sour wheat ale with peach & spices.
Our "Reinheitsgewhat!?" series of sour ales is our equivalent to the ubiquitous "kettle sour". We don't sour these beers in the kettle, rather, we use a type of wild-isolated yeast called Lachancea to quickly ferment and produce lactic acid in 2-3 weeks. Much quicker than mixed-fermentation souring, but definitely less complex. Still, it makes a great beer, especially as a base for fruiting and spicing.
Peach Reinheitsgewhat!? is mashed with pale and wheat malt, boiled with just a smidge of hops, and lightly spiced with coriander, chamomile, and grains of paradise. After a primary fermentation (during which the sourness develops) we add generous amount of peach puree, and the yeast ferments that too. It's a really great "entry-level" sour beer, or everyday drinker, if you will.

Sample at the brewpub as part of Ohio Brew Week on 07/18/2025, during the 10th Anniversary celebration. Slightly hazy bright yellow-gold color with a thin white head that dissipates quickly to an outer ring. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of wheat, peach and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of sweet tart peach and citrus, wheat and doughy malt. The finish is mildly tart with a peach aftertaste. Decent overall.
