Fuzzy is a Missouri Wild Ale that was fermented with native microflora from our family’s Missouri farm and then aged on Missouri-grown white peaches. The bright acidity and rustic funk is balanced by the delicate flavors and soft aromatics of the white peaches. This sour ale was fermented in and aged in Chardonnay barrels for more than a year.

Bottle shared. Very hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of peach, big mineral notes and a light funk. Not that complex but nice, fruity and refreshing. Flavour is moderate to heavy sour. Light medium bodied with soft carbonation. [17-09-2016]

At Fofa, drunk brief moments after Tete de Cuvee. Fuzzy was paler gold than tête de cuvee but was blessed with a light tartness and a tasty mild peach flavor on a drinkable soft body. 3.8

Poured from a 375 ml batch 2 bottle. Aroma is rather fruit forward with a lot of peach. Medium light acidity with some citrus and tropical fruit notes. Light oak and tannins. Pours a pale, yellow straw color with a medium sized, thick, white head that recedes quickly to the edges. Light lacing and no legs. Flavor is fairly acidic and sharp with some light grain notes and almost no sweetness. Medium light peach notes with faint oak. No bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a decent sour beer but the acidity is strong and too sharp. Acidity overpowers the peach a bit and the malt notes.

Bottle at Side Project Cellar. Pours mostly clear yellow-gold, lightly effervescent, with a frothy, white head. The nose has a nice hit of tart peach, some aged wood, lemon, hay. Light sweet flavour, tart and bracing, with chalky peach, slight mineral and woody dryness, lemon juice, mellow bitter grass. Light bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Sharp and drying on the finish, with subtly more jammy peach character, some fleshy lemon, wood, hints of grass. Excellent stuff.

Bottle @ Himmeriget. Pours hazy deep yellow with a small frothy white head that leaves some sparse trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is fruity and tiny funky with crackers, lemon juice, lime juice, ripe peaches, hay, minerals, barnyard and lemon zest. Taste is heavy sour, fruity and tiny funky. Mouthfeel is dry, tart, mouth-puckering, tiny peach skin astringent and light to medium bodied. Finish is heavy sour with plenty of ripe peaches and peach skin astringency. Very one note and a bit too sour but the peach character is great making this is hugely refreshing simple sour. Must confess I expected something more complex given the hype but sometimes simple is just as good. --- Beer merged from original tick of Fuzzy on 25 Mar 2016 at 15:59 - Score: 8. Original review text: Amazing peach aroma. Bit too sour in the flavour. Simple peach sour. Very goo but not worth the hype.

Bottle at the Rate Beer Awards Festival Bottle Share. Acidic nose with peaches and apricots. Very tart flavor, nice fruit. Lovely peaches, apricots and a perfect level of sourness. Very tasty.
