Sour Farmhouse Ale Aged in Oak Barrels With Peaches, Nectarines, Apricot, Plums & Spices
Fruit cobbler is a fruit-filled sour farmhouse ale bursting with baking spices. This brew showcases local Admiral Maltings Pilsner Malt and thousands of pounds of California-grown produce. After fermenting in oak barrels with our wild house culture, and a heavenly dose of vanilla, allspice, nutmeg, and cinnamon, the final blend has intoxicating aromas of fruit cobbler fresh out of the oven. Pair with sitting around the fire (or Yule Log channel), knitting, and holiday feasts.

Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange to copper color with a sly transparency along the edges of the glass and a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissolved nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peachy flesh and skin, blueberry flesh and skin, light lemony notes, some allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas together in a sweet to spicy and subtle tart sort of way; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, good sipper, good amount of smoothness, spices seem fairly restrained in their assertiveness
Overall: nice fruited tart ale worthy of coming back to.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours hazy pinkish grapefruit color with a white head. Or at least near white. Aroma of peach - very lightly reminiscent of pickled peach. Med body. Sort of sweet tar. Flavor is peach, vanilla ?, and a hint of berry? So it’s sweet/tart vanilla? Medium sour. Not dry. A bit acetic/acidic. Quite nice. Very approachable.
