Permutation is our experimental series of small batch offerings, showcasing the unique visions and innovative concepts developed by our production crew.
For this edition we used our Native New England Mixed Culture to brew a sour blonde ale conditioned in oak foeders for 9 months before being aged on a pile of peaches, over 2 Lbs per gallon. Permutation Series: Number Eleven is a cloudy golden color, opaque in appearance with an off-white head and lacing. Powerful aromas of cobbler & juicy overripe peach are balanced by subtle undertones of spicy peppercorn that warms the senses. First tastes conjure stone fruits with moderate to heavy acidity, followed by ripe, juicy peaches, a light lingering funk, and pithy citrus. A light mouthfeel underpinned by soft tannic structure, moderate carbonation, and 6.2% ABV make Number Eleven a perfect summer sour.
Malt: Pilsner, White Wheat, Flaked Wheat
Hops: US Goldings
Yeast: Native New England Mixed Culture

Goodbeer but the fruit in my bottle was muted. The feel was very light too. Everything else was pretty good but nothing over the top!

One of the better peach sours I've had. The nose has a real cheesy funk to it which overshadows the fruit but the flavor is all fresh peach with a palatable tartness level.
