Peach Sour spent about 2 years in a blend of American Red and White Wine barrels before we added the Peach in the spring of 2015. We then added about 1000 pounds of fresh Peach puree and let that infuse for another 4 months.
The beer pours a hazy golden color with orange-copper hues. The aroma of sweet summer Peach greets you strongly as you take the first sip, mingling with the earthy funk that one would expect from something that spent years living inside a barrel. The beer is not overly sour, but refreshingly tart. Peach lingers in the back of the flavor, along with a dry, white-grape note and plenty more barrel derived funkiness. The finish is smooth and reminiscent of a buttery Chardonnay, then fades cleanly on the palate.
6.5% ABV
Fresh single hop
Hermitage Hallertau Blanc Single Hop...$5.99 / 22oz
The latest addition to our Single Hop Series is Hallertau Blanc, a German variety that was released in 2012 specifically to appeal to American Craft Brewers. It managed to y under the radar for the first couple years of production, but has recently seen a huge surge in popularity.
The impact is big and bold for German hops, with lots of tropical fruit avors and a fairly high alpha-acid content. Growers notes describe this variety as having moderate to strong floral and fruit character, featuring notes of pineapple, gooseberry and white grape, lemongrass, passion fruit and grapefruit. We found that description to be pretty spot-on. Reminiscent of many recent Southern Hemisphere varieties, notably Nelson Sauvin, but with a cleaner, less “dank” profi le. The beer finishes nice and dry, with a lingering hint of sweet tropical fruit.
