Black Currant | 2021 Harvest

Spontaneous

Black Currant | 2021 Harvest is a three-year blend of traditional spontaneous beers brewed in the Spring 2018, Spring 2020, and Spring 2021 brewing seasons. Our team picked up black currants from Phillips Farms in Milford, NJ and added them directly into barrels containing the three-year blend which had an average age of 17 months at the time of fruiting. After aging on the currants for an additional 6 months we bottled and laid the beer down for an additional 12 months of conditioning. Upon release, Black Currant ’21 Harvest will be 29 months old. This beer pours a very clear burnt red/crimson color with strong off-white foam and carries a unique citrusy and piney overall character better described as twiggy or woodsy with light citrus and funk. Black Currant has a good tannin fruit profile with a clean medium acidity presenting a nicely balanced and unique overall character.

Spontaneous

Peach & Raspberry | 2021 Harvest – The base for this traditional spontaneous beer was brewed in the Spring 2020 brewing season and was approximately 16 months old when it was fruited directly in oak with red raspberries sourced from Pure Berry Co. in Vineland NJ followed by a large amount of crushed yellow clingstone peaches from Phillips Farms in Milford, NJ. After 6 months of conditioning on fruit this beer was then racked out of oak and bottled shortly afterwards before then resting an additional 12 months prior to release. Peach & Raspberry pours with a pretty peach yellow color with hints of pink and pushes heavy raspberry fruit flesh aromatics with subtle background peach notes all pulled together by a medium plus acidity level.
