Resident Culture Farm Mentality

What the brewers say

"Mixed-culture ale barrel-aged in red wine barrels for over two years and refermented on over 5.5 lb per gallon of fresh South Carolina peaches."

What our panel thought

"No carbonation. Light, balanced acidity in the aroma; light floral notes; some moderate wood and a whiskey-like spirit that becomes dominant as it warms. Moderate, balanced acid. Nice complexity; a hint of leathery funk, moderate pear, white grape esters. Light woody vanilla in finish. Clean, elegant."

What our editors thought

"Bright peach balances with fruity Brett fermentation character, offering an endearingly beery fruit beer. The flavor rides that Brett and peach balance through to the end—juicy, well-defined, funky, fun."

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

TRVE Brewing Co. Meditation is the Practice of Death

Rich fruit character, though not distinctly cherry; also Brett, wood, and earth. Lack of head suggests wine. Oak character adds pleasant light spiciness, with fruit fermentation esters; tart, with berry notes. Subtle yet complex.

Yazoo Brewing Co. Saison de Bois

Spicy, funky nose, with red fruit, minty phenols, overripe mango, tangerine, lemon. Citrus-juicy sweetness up front, moderate sourness; pleasant white grape, pear. Dry, woodsy finish adds to white-wine impression. Lively.

Blackberry Farm Brewery Farm & Fury

Herbal, floral notes; leather, hay, funk emerging as it warms. Malt is biscuit, light toast; light nectarine, citrus, white grape. Finishes tart, dry, nicely clean.
