St Henry is an Australian Wild Ale made with apricots. It is named for Chris and Emily’s second son. Saint Henry II was a Holy Roman Emperor during the 11th century. In 2021, St Henry was made by blending barrel aged golden mixed culture fermentation ale with 1060kg of fresh, whole, tree ripened Robada apricots from Yarralee Orchard in Kelso, NSW. After a four and three quarter month maceration and refermentation of fruit and beer, it was bottled and allowed to naturally carbonate and mature in bottle for several months before release. 10.0°P

0.75l bottle shared with a mixed crowd at Goblet ZG. Misty golden body, off-white head. Perfumey aroma - plums, honey, propolis, wild notes, alcohol, some malty touches, funk, apricots and some light flowery notes at first. Sweet fruity Brett-driven taste I'd reckon. Peachy, bit oily, some toothrot, lemony, with quite prickly carbonation. Bit messy and lovely at the same time - and very very stupidly highly priced I'm afraid (32€) - not worth it that way, though it was fun to try.
