Other Notes: Danish Wild Ale with fresh white nectarines. 2023 vintage

Brewer Description: (from bottle) 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 Chardonnay and Monbazillac barrels. We racked this onto freshly destoned and crushed white nectarines at a rate of over 600 grams of nectarines 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 nectarine, transporting you back to the high days of summer no matter when you drink it.

Intro: A 750ml corked and caged bottle, 2023 vintage, bottled on 19th October 2023. Poured into a Tilquin stemmed glass.
Appearance: A hazy golden orange colour, with a one finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly to nothing, while leaving only sparse to no lacing.
Aroma: Freshly cut extremely ripe juicy nectarines, peaches, and apricots.
Taste: Sour, tart, nectarine, peach, oak, light funk.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate to soft carbonation.
Overall: The aroma of those white nectarines were perfectly ripe and although it wasn’t quite there with the taste, it was still good and enjoyable.
