Our Sunstead series captures the essence of perfectly ripe stone fruits, allowing us to savor the warm flavors of summer all year long. The base beer is a blend of one, two and three-year-old Danish Wild Ales aged in white wine barrels. We racked this onto freshly destoned and crushed white Saturn peaches at a rate of over 600 grams of peaches per liter, and left it to macerate with the fruit for over a month before bottling. This complex, soft and juicy beer tastes almost like biting into a fragrant peach, transporting you back to the high days of summer no matter when you drink it.

Copenhagen 5/9 2025. 75 cl bottle with a cork stopper from A Good Case web-shop. Brownish label with a desperately hollering face as a motif.
Pours opaque unclear golden yellow with a small white head. Bubbly. Disappears after half a minute leaving no traces of foam behind, No lacing,
Aroma is fairly intense with a sweet touch of stone fruit mingling with stronger scent of tart berries. Sweet peach and nectarine. Sour currants and unripe gooseberries. A bit acerbic and dry.
Medium strong carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lively and tingling texture.
Flavor is intense with a medium strong sweetness followed and balanced by a tart sourness. Aftertastes tart with a mellowing sweet undertone. Lingers for a while. Finish is tart and dry.
Sweet stone fruit overpowered by tart fruit.
