Notes:
Our 2021 blend takes carefully selected barrels of up to 18-month-old Turbulent Consequence stock to further mature on a duo of locally grown autumn gold and white peaches for an additional eight months. Turbulent Consequence is brewed using historic lambic methods, including a turbid mash with Oregon-grown raw wheat and barley, extended boil with aged hops, inoculation by resident flora in our wild cellar’s coolship, and spontaneous fermentation and maturation in oak barrels.

Murky orange tinted golden body with a white cap that fades into a collar. Really nice full and juicy peach leading the smell, with no sign of minerality. Supporting oak, apricot, orange, and sweet wild funk round out. Taste starts with dry brett and barnyard funk, wet peach bring a shot of sweetness, before oak, wild funk, sliced green apple, apricot, a hint of minerality, and yeast finish. Carb is a tick high, but sourness is playful and full, funk is felt in sharp and dry ways, crisp finish for style.

Peche 2019 500ML bottle from Block 15 Taproom. Bottled in March 2019. Enjoyed August 2019.
L: Deep grapefruity pink and orange, thin head with quick sparkling bubble, quickly dissipating foam. Opaque and vibrant.
S: Fresh peach juice, tart and wild aromas, impending sourness, and an inviting funk.
T: Peach. Slightly puckering sour punch leads to the expected wild barrel flavor that follows. Depth unlike a kettled sour; the character of the barrel comes through.
F: Sparkling bubbles. Drying sourness and tacky gritty sugary residue in the mouth.
O: Very impressive. Excellent. Super fresh tasting and perfect for a summer evening. Wild enough to feel the complexity of the barrel behind the peach. Can't wait to get my hand on another next year.

Bottle, 2018 vintage, from ABV.
A mildly hazy orange with a dense, off-white head that falls off rapidly, this looks solid. The nose opens sharp with bright peaches and a noticeable and prominent funk. A blend of mostly sharp lactic acid with a light acetic note, the sourness is not hidden here. The peach character is fresh and vibrant with some fuzz and skin tannins present. A touch of vanilla is present. The palate opens noticeably sour with an aggressive lactic acid bite along with a blend of white wine, oak tannins and a little acetic acid. The sourness really opens up the palate to receive all the peachy goodness. The peach character doesn't bring to mind explosively ripe and juicy fruit, instead, it has a more semi-ripe peach character, focusing on the yellow-red flesh near the pit with the notes of vanilla and mild honey. Funk notes of preserved lemon and a little dust are present. Highly carbonated, this beer is light in body and sour on the finish. Quite excellent, this is closer in style to a peach lambic than a peach American Wild Ale.

Pours gold. Foamy, tall, off-white head that last a short while.
Smells Peach, lemon, tart fruit, Funk and musty.
Taste is tart fruit, lemon, Light peach, Funk, earthy and the hint of oak. Finish is dry with a light Funk Linger. Medium body and fizzy higher carbonation.

500ml bottle share (6/11). Initial pour yields a cloudy golden body, capped off with a small white head. Aroma brings the peaches to the forefront, along with some tartness. taste adds in some vanilla elements to round this out. Nice sour

The fruiting was excellent and held up well. The carbonation was the real winner. The bubbles were like Champagne bubbles which created a very effusive mouthfeel.

for a brewery i have never heard of, even for one i have, this is impossibly delicious. a coolship fermented wild ale with peaches in oak barrels, pretty darn impressive! its golden to copper colored, glowing orange, new penny luster, with a short but lasting white head and plenty of bubbles. the nose is like smelling salts, it throws my head back involuntarily, not because its so sour, but because its so interesting. juicy ripe peach skins, tangy brett and lacto, and a bright acidity. the flavor of the peaches is over ripe, a day too long in the window in the sun, sagging a touch but about to pop, one of my favorite summer flavors, and they just nailed it here. hard to get all that peach flavor in a beer that isnt sweet, and they do that expertly as well. im not getting so much wood on this, the fruit overpowers any of that in a good way. the wild yeasts in this are very unique too, rustic and perfectly balanced between funky farmy and sour. they bottle condition this with honey, which can absolutely be tasted. while it is dry, its not so dry that this unique touch cant be appreciated. huge fan of the process and the overall boutique nature of this beer, you can taste the care and love than went in to it, and i am over the moon on its quality and uniqueness. i will be looking out for more of their beer, but in the meantime, if anyone wants to send me another bottle, hit me up!

Just not my cup of tea. The beer delivers a lot of peach, light lemon and vanilla, but with the sour component clearly dominating everything else. I found the cassis to be a much more interesting beer to drink, thought still a bit to sour and funky for my taste.
