Brew Date: February 18th 2014
Inoculation Method(s): Coolship
Barrel Blend: 100% Barrel III
Description: A Brettanomyces-centered spontaneous ale. This beer has notes of ripe tropical fruit, dominated by a fresh peach flavor and aroma. A special coolship technique generates minimal "funkiness" and mild acidity that will both increase with up to 10 years in a cellar.

Bottle 41/46 -
A: Peeled carrot pour, from color derived behind skin tones, with highlights in yellow and amber. The head is sturdy in aftermath lace, but quick on straight induction, as it starts a few centimeters high in white presentation before a swift recoil
S: A perceivable/abstract gueuze minerality at hand - A tart, grainy wet lining that stretches over ripe tropical fruit in papaya, mango, guava, and the softening of persimmon pudding. Furthering notes to categorical advancement comes to crisp peach cobbler, before blueberry buckle, blood orange, and fruttare apple sit beneath wheat bready funk. The progression to sense becomes tranquil on rustic acidity, but steady on nuanced funk in gnawed bison leather, corroded forage, and boundless sheet webs
T: Honeyed perspicacity, where acidic funk is tempered around pliable fruit, and where the abstracts encapsulate moldy connotations in cobblestone canvas, upholstery, and ceiling tiles. Moreover on rank and mildew, comes an unhinged encryption in rainforest over basement fungus besides mushroom rawhide, before a return to prickly pear sourdough and fresh peach vinaigrette
M: A medium light, bright body, with practical carbonation, and a finish that appeases a dry orderliness
O: A vehicle for controlled impulsivity thru spent years of cellar rest, drying platforms, and room increments, where acidity is refereed across wide-ranging complexity
