Aged in French Oak and spiked with peaches and blended, very carefully. First brewed in 2007, and again in 2020 as "Yellow Bus Stop" (same beer though).

750 mL bottle. 2020 bottle. Clear golden with a few bubbles. Smells of oak, basement funk, light peach. Tastes of stone fruit sourness, lots of oak, earthy and winey notes in the finish. Simple, delicious, and a blast from the past when it comes to fruited sours.

2020 remake version, not the OG white whale. Never having tasted the original I have no comparison but not a darn thing wrong with this. Juicy ripe peaches for days balanced nicely by the sourness.

Appearance: Pours a somewhat hazy golden color with a one finger head that fades to a collar; squiggles of lacing
Smell: Barnyard funk and tart peach with a floral, peach blossom element; very oaky
Taste: Vinous peach with barnyard funk and a floral aspect; oaky and tart, through the middle, with a dry, somewhat sour finish
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate to high carbonation; puckery
Overall: A delightful sour with all the elements in perfect harmony
