The Sour Note Series plays on with Bass Shaker: a sour ale brewed with peaches and aged in oak. Like all sour ales in the series, this beer was soured with our own in-house lactobacillus strain. On the palate, ripe peaches and careful aging with medium-plus American oak chips impart subtle nuances of sweet charred fruit and vanilla. Very tart.

650ml bottle - weak-ass sour beers around the Yuletide - what on earth were you thinking, Matt? However, I do like the pun involved here, as always.
This beer pours a clear, pale golden amber colour, which leaves some low-lying sea-burp lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of tart stone fruit, musky and musty lactic notes, gritty and grainy pale malt, some ephemeral generic woodiness, and further indistinct leafy, weedy, and grassy green hop bitters. The taste is tart, spoiled milk, peach and apricot flesh, gritty and crackery pale malt, a much lesser caramel sweetness, hovering yeast, and more tame herbal, leafy, and grassy verdant noble hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly prevalent in its tacky frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and mostly smooth, with a minor airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the stone fruit character duly challenging any lingering plain-ass maltiness.
Overall, this is an agreeable enough fruit and wood-treated offering from a brewery who likes to mess with things on account of nothing. Kind of thin in the end, but still worthy of one's attention in the crazy sour beer game, as it were.
