Rhubarb & Nectarine | 2021 Harvest
Rhubarb & Nectarine | 2021 Harvest
Spontaneous
Rhubarb & Nectarine | 2021 Harvest was blended from a base of cognac barrel-aged spontaneously fermented beers from the 2019/2020 brewing season.
In early July 2021, our team received several hundred pounds of Rhubarb from an over 100-year-old local patch and added them directly to oak with the blend. In early September, we received several hundred pounds of Yellow Nectarines which were then also added as a complement to the blend. The overall fruiting rate of this beer came in at over 6 lbs per gallons.
At bottling, this blend had an average age of 27 months and has been conditioning since its bottling in 2022.
Rhubarb & Nectarine | 2021 Harvest pours peachy yellow with aromatics of jammy vanilla, deep apricot stonefruit perfume, spritzy high carbonation, fruit syrup and a full mouthfeel supported by a high minerality and low acidity..
