HOPIQ TAKE

Brado Peach Sour if you want a fuller, more assertive wild ale experience, Wild Gift Apricot if you want something delicate and crushable. The Brado's extra ABV and IBUs give it more presence and complexity—it's got weight that lets the peach actually argue with the funk. The Wild Gift is the opposite move: it's restrained, almost tea-like in how it lets the apricot whisper through the Brett character without demanding your attention.

TASTING NOTES

Brado Peach Sour

PeachSourFruity

Brado Peach Sour hits you with real stone fruit intensity right away—the peach isn't perfumy or thin, it's got actual flesh to it. There's a tart spine running through the middle that keeps things from getting sweet or jammy, and underneath you get those classic wild ale notes: a little leather, some hay-like earthiness, maybe a hint of horse blanket if you're looking for it. It's a sour that feels like it has something to say.

Wild Gift Apricot

FruitySourPeach

Wild Gift Apricot is the kind of beer that sneaks up on you. It pours pale and innocent, and the first sip is almost shy—delicate apricot skin, a whisper of Brett funk, and this surprising mineral dryness that keeps it from ever feeling plump. The lower ABV means it tastes lighter in your mouth, more like you're drinking a wild ale that's been aged for subtlety rather than complexity. It's elegant in a way that takes a couple sips to appreciate.
