A barrel fermented beer using fresh peaches from Baird Family Orchards. The Fantasia is firmly tart and hugely aromatic with a character not unlike Belgian fruit lambics. Minimum one year on oak before an extended bottle conditioning prior to release. Will cellar for several years, but best within three.

750ml bottle (thx, Brian!) at Alex’s in honor of my birthday and CPA PREP finish. Vintage 2016. Pours a cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma is fermented fruits and veggies. Same taste with peaches notws. Moderate to high sourness. Pleasant.

2017-03-25, bottle, Sergey's birthday party, 6% ABV, 7-3-8-4-16=38
Cloudy orange color with small to no head. Complex, fruity, peachy, and a bit lemony, with elegant acidity; much better than when I had it on tap. Excellent.
2016-06-01, draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, 10th Anniversary party, 7-3-7-3-14=34
Cloudy, golden, and flat. Sour, definitively it has Lambic notes, more lemon, but also light cheese/yeast notes; some aroma of peach and yeast.
Nice, but I expected more.
