Home, Sour Home is our golden sour beer fermented with Brettanomyces yeast and Lactobacillus bacteria. It's aged in oak barrels with peaches, cinnamon, and vanilla bean, simply reminding us of homemade peach cobbler.

Got this bottle from wyoming on BA.
Pours a cloudy straw gold with an initial abundance of foam. 20 seconds later, zilch but that's kinda typical of the style.
Tart peach aromas, bits of cinnamon, wood.
Taste is tart but mixing with the subtle cinnamon spiciness is quite unique and delicious. It gets woody near the finish with hints of vanilla.
Low end of medium bodied, the carbonation is on the zesty side which helps to bring out the flavours.
A treat to say the least, a 2017 Sour of the year to say the most.

Nice yellow pour, bit cloudy, light foam on top. Nose is tart, nicely herbal, cinnamon is strong, some vanilla. Peaches more hidden, maybe some generic fruity tartness. Getting lots of acidity but also flavours in the gas. Herbal coriander, nice fruity sour velvety peaches. Dry finish. Very solid sour.

Hazy golden amber color. Lots of lactos nose with peach, cinnamon and brett nose with tons of oak. Sour, not overly puckering, with peaches, cinnamon, some vanilla and oak. Tons of complexity. Dry, well balanced. Oak just lingers. Really nice.

Bottle pours out a muddy orange juice color topped with a small head. Nose is big cinnamon lemon tartness and a nice spice. Taste is more of the cinnamon tart vanilla oak and a nice tart sweet combo.

Bouteille 75cl de et partagée avec Pierre T. Blend# 023. Dorée, col fin blanc. Arôme est surprenant et fort plaisant. Retrouve une parfaite symbiose entre les épices; ici de cannelle, une certaine note acétique des bretts et la douceur de la vanille qui se balancent parfaitement. Le côté pêche est agréable mais sans pour cela être un élément essentiel-perceptible. Palais est tout autant agréable et met une savante dose de cannelle en avant et de suite contrebalancée par la douceur de la gousse de vanille qui sert à un peu freiner le profil aigrelet-funk des brett et autres levures sauvages. UN mélange surprenant mais qui fonctionne très bien tant tout y apparait comme en parfait alignement. Je note, cependant, peu le côté de la pêche qui est peut-être là pour ajouter plus sur le profil tonique et épais fruité de la bière qui enlève aussi un peu du caractère brett.
