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.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy golden burnt yellow to orange color with a thin film of a white head. Lacing is slim.
The smell started off with vinous citrus sourness with a big quality of bitterness hitting tart orange rind. Some citrus juices. Peaches are extremely subtle.
The taste was extremely sour through the orange rind. Peaches do show some light sweetness in the flavor. Slides into the aftertaste. Dry sour finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sipping quality to it. Carbonation hits appropriately. But sour harshness, damn, yeah, just hits extremely hard in the feel.
Overall, well, it smells and tastes great, but the feel, hmmm...yeah, damn that’s some harsh stuff, wooee, nice to try, unsure if I would have again.
