Our gin barrels #39 and #40 were filled with our base farmhouse beer to funkify for over two years on our spontaneous house culture. We further conditioned the beer in stainless for another 18 months to let the flavors blend together. The resulting beer is pleasantly tart with a touch of brett character. We taste notes of overripe pineapple, herbal bitters, and a hint of leather.
*2021 tasting Notes
Pours a cheerful golden straw with a white lace tiara. Aromas of freshly chopped pineapple, white grape and jasmine bound playfully ahead of flavors of lemon, guava and pine before a bright, tart, spritzy finish. Zing!
*Unknown year tasting Notes
La Mûre pours a mysterious black plum with a velvety heliotrope head. Enticing aromas of blackberry pie, roses, cedar and limoncello segue sweetly into flavors of pomegranate, acai, Cabernet, pine and white pepper before a brightly acidic finish of lemon, earth and wine.
*Unknown year tasting Notes
Pours with rosy cheer and off-white lace. Aromas of purple berries and juniper precede flavors of jasmine, lemon zest and pineapple. Finishes with a soft, and playful flourish.
*Unknown year tasting Notes
A gentle crown of white foam rests lightly atop a cheerful nectar of golden straw. Playful aromas of nectarine marmalade, graham cracker spice, vanilla, wildflower honey and citrus zest leap from the glass. Flavors of peach nectar, cantaloupe, Sauvignon Blanc and raspberry sorbet shimmy across the pallet. Lingering honeydew, luscious stone fruit, effervescent lemon and a graceful tannic structure beg further investigation.
42lbs of boysenberries barrel-fermented with a blend of 24 and 18 month-old reserve coolship sour barrels to create a puckeringly tart and funky red sour with notes of dark tart cherries, blueberries, and jammy pink zinfandel.
A blend of 20 month Cabernet Sauvignon BBL aged sour ale, which underwent refermentation on 118lbs of second use wild Italian plums, and new American oak aged foeder beer. Oak, pineapple, earthy funk and plum on the nose. A melange of bright fruit flavors enveloped in oak and a hint of vanilla and some minerality dissolves into vinous notes and subtle plum. Dry, acidic, & complex finish of oak tannins, grape skins, and plum noyaux.
