Brewed in the spring of 2020 and fermented with a blend of Freak Folk's and our own mixed cultures, the grist for this Golden Sour was comprised of Valley Malt's Pilsen malt and Nitty Gritty Grain raw redeemer wheat.
Aged in fresh red and white wine barrels following primary fermentation in oak. In September 2020, aged barrels were blended on top of Red Gold and Fantasia nectarines from Champlain Orchards, offering a notes of tart, fresh citrus on the nose and apricot on the palate. Bottled in early 2021.

Foam draught, 8/12/22. Bright lemon-brass. Small, white head. Oh yeah, that's a dot! Funky poop with spicy, zesty nectarine. Yep, love it. Great acidity but no acetic. Soft malts support. Juicy, bright tart, funky, more acidic than the nose let's on but that's mostly the nectarine. Soft and malty with wheat and such. Lingering prunus-acidity (whatever is most prominent in the fruits of this genus) and soft funk.
