Sour with Peach and Vanilla

Our third Luminary Society release of 2023 is a mouth-puckering sour brewed with peaches and vanilla extract. The base of this barrel-aged beer is an effervescent Saison first brewed on our pilot system in the spring of 2021. After initial fermentation with a Belgian Ale yeast, the project moved to Cabernet Sauvignon barrels previously home to several batches of our beloved “Rhapsody” sour series. It sat in those barrels for a year and an half, taking on bright acidity as well as subtle funk. In early 2023, it was moved to age with 132 pounds of Macedonian peaches and vanilla extract. The result? A tart, golden-hued Ale with notes of peach rings, green grape, and cake batter - an invigorating, light, and fruity sour. Drink fresh or cellar.
