What Our Editors Thought

“Cobbler-sweet in the nose with a berry counterpoint. Intense flavor with strong fruit, medium-strong acidity, a quirky herbal note, and a faint astringent hit.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Peaches come through nicely in the aroma; notes of apple, cinnamon, allspice, and clove mingle with light funk to create the impression of fresh-baked strudel. Pleasantly funky and tart.”

What the Brewers Say

“Aged 20 months in an oak foeder with Brettanomyces. Conditioned on Palisade peaches and chamomile.”
