Elliott Bay - Nectarine Gold

In 2020, we bought 100lbs of nectarines from a local farmers market to add to some select barrels of our Sour Gold. Todd, Brent, and I spent an afternoon cutting up the fruit and stuffing it into barrels. Then we added Sour Gold to the barrels, and allowed the beer to age on the fruit for 20 months. During this time, the flavor of the fresh fruit was infused into the beer and the fruit sugars were fermented away to leave a mostly dry finish. Lots of Nectarine and oak aroma. Brightly acidic on the palate with a touch of stone-fruit sweetness
