Peach de Brettaville is a harmonious marriage of fruit and beer, bringing together our love for brett saisons and farm fresh fruit. We brewed our Saison Dolores and fermented it with twelve different brettanomyces strains, and aged it in wine barrels and our foeders with plenty of juicy peaches and nectarines.
After months of maturing and blending, this saison has developed a balance between earthy funk and stone fruit sweetness with a dry, white wine-like finish, perfect for pairing with creamy cheeses and braised pork.
Our Farm to Barrel beers focus on the eons-old tradition of aging beers in oak barrels, and our de Brettaville saisons expand upon this tradition by highlighting the magical properties of wild brettanomyces yeast. We start by brewing a bright and aromatic farmhouse ale with a blend of twelve “brett” yeast strains. After a vigorous primary fermentation, the beer is racked into wine barrels to mature. In cask, the beer takes on the complex flavors of the oak, and the brettanomyces yeast creates an exotic melange of earthy funk and tropical fruit flavors. This wild ale is alive in the bottle and will continue to mature for years.

Bottle shared with rlgk, fonefan, ChrisO and beerhunter111. Lightly hazy pale yellow color, small white head. Aroma is a lovely balance between the sourness and the sweetness of the peach. Taste is medium sour, nice peach sweetness in there, dry finish. Decent body and carbonation. Lovely beer!

Bottle shared on Level 42, 09/06/2016. Many thanks to Kenny fro this one. A cloudy yellow straw coloured pour with a fading white head. Aroma is funky bretty, pineapple, apricot, wheat, peach yogurt. Palate is super dry, pithy citrus grapefruit, spritzy carbonation. Flavour is composed of puckering sour pineapple, peach and mango, salty and sour and refreshing. Very nice.

Bottle from Appellation Wines. Appearance - cloudy yellow with a decent head. Nose - Brett and general floral notes. Gorse. Taste - light orchard fruit and then the long sour finish at the back. Palate - medium bodied with a tangy texture and a long lean tangy finish. Overall - a perfect palate even if the notes aren’t so amazing.
