Peach Melba Sour
A sour beer modelled on the peach Melba dessert and a fixed part of the core range. Peach, raspberry and vanilla go into the brew on a base of barley, wheat and oats. The brewery describes it as fresh, fruity and quenching; its own listing adds an ice-cream-like sweetness set against the tart fruit. The recipe no longer uses lactose. At 4.3% it stays light, the acidity is approachable rather than sharp, and stone fruit and red berries lead from aroma to finish.
