◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe stone fruit—specifically fresh peach juice—layered with subtle spice notes from cardamom that add warmth and complexity. Underlying the fruit sits a gentle funkiness and earthy oak character from the barrel aging, balanced by soft acidity. The aromatic profile is fruit-forward yet nuanced, without cloying sweetness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced peach character, followed by a pleasant interplay of tartness and sweetness that keeps the beer refreshing rather than dessert-like. Cardamom adds a dry, warming spice in the mid-palate, while oak and funky yeast notes provide structure and depth. The finish trails into a balanced dryness with lingering fruit acidity.
