Almanac Bourbon Barrel Peche (47.3cl, 6.8%)

Almanac Bourbon Barrel Peche is a mixed-fermentation sour farmhouse ale from Almanac Beer Co. in Alameda, California. It is aged in bourbon barrels with peaches, nectarines and real vanilla beans. The fruit comes from Blossom Bluff Orchards in California's San Joaquin Valley, including White Snow and Fay Elberta peaches at three pounds per gallon, aged with Almanac's house sour culture. The beer shows assertive sour tartness up front, with waves of fresh peach and nectarine. Mid-palate brings soft vanilla and a breath of bourbon warmth, while the barrel presence stays in the background. It is light-bodied with soft carbonation and a smooth, fruity finish.
