Bottle, ABV 14%, RBNAG 2009 in Vatlandsvåg. Ale fermented with peaches in oak cask. Deep golden colour, low head. Intense aroma of oak, lemons, cider apples and peaches. Very sour flavour, notes of brettanomyces, sour apples more than peaches.

Hand-bottled at the brewery: Poured a hazy copper color ale with a rather large head and good retention with some lacing. Aroma of bready yeast and caramel malt is somewhat enjoyable. Taste is unfortunately more dominated by bready yeast then the malt backbone, which I was I wasn’t expecting considering the style. Body is quiet full with good carbonation. Too much yeast and malt doesn’t’ come out enough which is what this style usually called for.

Bottle at RBESG 09 Sheffield. Sour and hoppy. Big rubbery yeast aroma. Too sharp and acidic for me. Not much of a doppelbock. Decent sourness though.

Bottle at RBESG09 Grand tasting, Sheffield. Cloudy copper. Belgian lambic peach clone. Some lemon. It’s pretty good, but clearly not Belgian. OK, bit too carbonated..

On tap at Dusty’s Tap Room, Okemos. Murky medium orange body, thin off-white head. Grassy, herbal, citrusy nose. Oily body with bitter, grassy, herbal hops, yarrow, grain, and lemony tartness. The generous ABV lends a vinous character to the beer. Good bite.

Beer #12 at GTMW. Very deep brown, you can still see a little light through it, but the bubbles are just kind of hanging around just beneath the surface like juvenile delinquents with no place to go. Smell has Belgian malt goodness with a little bit of sourness. Taste is actually quite sour, maybe off the style, but that’s what happens when fruits get stuck in. Excellent mouthfeel. For a tripel it turns out to be an interesting sour beer.
