White Picket Fence: Peach and Apricot (Batch 1)

Blended Foeder Saison w/ Peaches & Apricots
5.8% ALC./VOL.
500mL

A symbol synonymous with Bellwoods Brewery; our White Picket Fence has undergone a complete overhaul and its repurposed form much better reflects the direction of our brewery. Premiering at Witchstock, this first batch of the newly transformed White Picket Fence is brewed with the addition of wheat, oats and rye and fermented and conditioned in foeders for 6 months, blended with fresh saison, then gently dry-hopped before bottle conditioning. This extremely limited variant spent additional time conditioning on peaches and apricots.

What it smells and tastes like: Similarly to its unfruited counterpart, citrus and stone fruit dominate the nose. Thanks to the time spent conditioning on the fruit, enormous peach and apricot character roll across the palate, bringing an increased acidity and a crisp dry finish.
