Collaboration with Side Project Brewing
Our Side Project Collaboration called Leaner. A leaner is when a peach is so juicy you have to lean forward or it spills on you. 100% Oak Fermented Saison fermented with both Casey and Side Project's cultures. Aged with over 3 pounds per gallon Flamecrest Colorado Peaches. The Saison we both brewed was a higher gravity version of our house Saison recipe. So this beer is basically a higher gravity version of Casey Family Preserves but with Side Project's cultures. Noticeably more acidic. A great showing of both our cultures.

Just starting off by saying this beer is just stupid good, now that I have that out the way I'll continue with more detail. The pour of the beer isn't anything overly special, typical golden orange color, rapidly fading white head. The smell of the beer has that fruity Casey-like funk going on which is expected. The taste is honestly one of the best tasting peach sours I've had. I was truly blown away by the sweet yet tart peach flavor they were able to get out of this, incredible! The feel is medium bodied, finished dry and tart. Overall just outstanding!

Had on tap. Bright yet somewhat pale yellow opaque body with a white head and trace amounts of lacing. Smell has big peach with effervescent bright oak, wild yeast, flowers and pollen aromas. Taste leads with peach juice and funk, playfully sour bright oak, flowers, wild yeast, a whisper of biscuit and apricot support. Feel is medium bodied, smooth, lightly tart and wild, bright. Nothing earth shattering, but a great wild peach saison
