Golden sour beer aged in oak barrels with bushels of peaches and a dash of apricots. We formed layers of bright stonefruit character by blending a unique mix of microorganisms with our fondness for apricots and peaches. This golden sour beer features an aroma of fresh dewy peach skins with flavors of fresh juicy peaches and a hint of tart apricots.

Bottle at home. As 7,7 % ABV. One year old. Pours a cloudy pale orange colour with a small off-white head. Aroma of oak, heather, apricots, plums and peaches. Flavour of grape skin, oak, apricots, green apples, peach candy and lemon. Has a slick mouth feel, medium body and a soft bitterness. Fruity and sour. One of a kind.

At ratebeer best pours out golden topped with a fizzy white head. Nose is big sweet peach apricot some leather oak vanilla. Taste is more of the nice stone fruit combo jammy and still plenty tart pucker notes.

Hazed deep golden color with a fine white head. Solid fruity aroma. Medium + body and a fine mellow carbonation level. Ok balance between sweetness and acidity. Dry ending. Fruity, citric, yeast and some oak in the flavor. Solid tasty and refreshing stuff.
