Soak: our line of sour wheat ales, aged in oak, featuring a variety of single fruit additions. We place a base brew crafted with 60% wheat grist in 600L oak puncheons for 3 months with fermentation duties shared gracefully between lactobacillus and our Native New England mixed culture. Loosely inspired by the cold-maceration process used in winemaking, we blend fruit directly into the barrels to “soak” for enhanced extraction of unique colors, aromatics, and flavors. Delightfully acidic, but not funky, our Soak series is an approachable sequence of wild offerings that we are proud to share. Plums bring enhanced complexities with tart, yet unsweetened flavor additions. Plum Soak is dry with undertones of oak and wheat.

MALT: Pilsner, White Wheat, Flaked Wheat

HOPS: US Goldings

Lemon, acetic acid, lacto, oak and plum. Actually getting some plum fruit. Light bodied. Creamy feel. Tart and sour. Short, semi dry finish. Pretty good. One of the better Soaks from the series.

Beautiful clear salmon with a bubbly off-white collar.

Smell is funky cheese, oak, light plum and light wet wood.

Taste is real sour raspberry-plum-blackberry with a medium-thin body and crisp dry finish accented by a faint funk and fruity soda.

Beautiful light pink with a hint of magenta and a pillowy head. Smell is intensely funky bordering on diaper. Taste masks that slightly with some stonefruit that is being overpowered by lacto. Quite tart and dry.
