Peaches don’t typically conjure visions of aggressive, wild flavours. Most people are likely to describe peaches as “soft” or “delicate” in their flavour profile. But we saw potential in bringing out a wild side of the peach and giving this fruit its day in the sun. Starting with our base Saison stock with its huge wild yeast character, we added a slightly tart component to further brighten up the blend, and allowed it to rest on peaches for several months. Rays of sunshine are the primary tasting notes, followed by a rush of all the unique musty cellar funk our signature wild Saison blending character is known for. A pleasant outcome to the blend is a melding of soft and wild, displaying a negotiated sensory middle ground. The peach rounds out and brings the wild character of the base to a more moderate level, while the funk helps elevate the peaches to achieve their full potential. As blenders, we are never more excited than when separate ingredients mutually enhance the other. While peaches on a wild beer base is not a particularly novel concept, we feel this example stands out as something really special. Come along and take a trip out to the farm with us. Enjoy!

[notes] Poured from bottle @ FHF 2023 (Aug 12, 2023). Clear orange gold with small white head. Peach forward, mild funk, okay.

Snotterful of fruit, sour fruit palette, dangerously wanting more afterwards. This is the first beer (other than Canillon) for a very long time that I've pulled that Gurning face upon drinking. Tailor-made...

Amber with a slight haze. Thick head. Hints of stone fruity, some acidity. Decent peach character.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a clear amber orange with a medium beige head. Aroma brings out lots of buggy saison yeast, mineraly notes, and oak. Flavour is full of tart stone fruits, juicy stone fruits, some rustic notes, and moderate acidity. Juicy, acetic and tart. Pleasant nothing all that complex or integrated.

A taster shared with Josh, Matt, Phill, and Ryan during FHF with priceless Rachel's (yup, again!) help in organizing all the mess with glasses. Appearance: pale copper. Aroma: stone fruits, farmhouse notes. Taste: along the same lines, a bottle woody and acidic. Overall: pretty good.
