West Ashley Cuvée is a blend of four consecutive years of West Ashley (2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021). Each of those years were aged the entire time in Pinot Noir oak barrels WITH fruit. This is not simply a blend of base beer with apricots at the end, but a true blend of fruit, time, and complexity like we’ve never before attempted, and may never again.
The result is something greater than the sum of its parts, even though those parts are pretty darn great in their own right.Even split of 25% each component.
Yellow waxed bottle.

0,75l bottle at freunderlwirtschaft, Vienna. Yellow cloudy color, small white head. Smells stone fruits, apricots, peaches, jammy, spices, lovely smell. Full body, soft carbonation. Tastes jammy, Marmelade, stone fruits, apricots, peaches, bit spices, hints of berry, lightly leathery/almost smoky. Finishes lightly dry and light to medium sour with notes of Marmelade, apricots and spices. Very nice one, bit on the clean side, very good

Bottle, 750 ml, shared at the charity tasting at Die Freunderlwirtschaft. Intensive yellow orange with white head. Intensive peaches in aroma, much more on taste, medium to high sourness, juicy, funk, citrus. Very intense.

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours a cloudy orange gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is stone fruit, oak, grape must. Slick body, apricot, lemon, grape, oak, light acidity, enjoyed this.

Bottle, huge props to Matt! Pours slightly hazy golden, small off white head, decent lacing. Aroma is apricots, green skins, hint of sulphur, oak. Flavor is light plus tart, light funk, a bit bright. Light body. Nice, not earth shattering. 5, 8,7,5,15
