Brewed with local Pilsner malt from Riverbend malt and Triticale from Epiphany malt and aged Strisselspalt hops. Fermented with a blend of three Belgian strains then put into oak barrels with our wild culture from the Asheville air for 6 months.

Lightly tart and bursting with peach and apricot flavor. Unbelievably drinkable for a beer of this strength. Delicate funk and oak in the nose, a perfect beer for aging a few years.

Current bottle states 9.8% abv.
nice opaque blond appearance. Nice fluffy head with lace.
Bretty tart farmhouse nose.
Distinctly Belgian tripel in taste with some tart Bretty notes. No booziness, which is impressive considering high abv.
Crisp and slick mouthfeel.
Overall: pretty good, but taste was lacking.
