Shine — Farmhouse Ale with Peaches
Wine Barrel Aged w/ Fruit • Dry • Young Peach • Light Body • 5.4% abv
This tart wild ale showcases the art of blending barrel aged and fresh beer. The barrel aged portion began with Texas grown pilsner malt, water from Vista’s aquifer-fed well, house-aged hops and Brettanomyces, set to age in a local wine barrel.
The freshly brewed ale also fermented with Brettanomyces and over 200 pounds of juicy peaches. Marrying the two together creates a delicate, tart and nuanced ale with subtle stone fruit aroma, pleasant tartness and flavors of peach cobbler and light tannins.
Spring is a time of renewal and refreshment. Shine brings the promise of warm, sunny days best enjoyed with a glass of farmhouse ale in hand!
