Apricot + White Peach Cobbler is kettle-soured — a process in which Lactobacillus bacteria acidify the wort before the boil, producing a clean, controlled tartness rather than the funky complexity of barrel-aged wild ales. From that tart foundation, the brewing team layers in apricot and white peach along with milk sugar (lactose) for body and sweetness, vanilla for aromatic depth, and graham cracker flavoring to deliver the pastry crust character that separates this beer from a standard fruit sour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ripe white peach and apricot preserves lead immediately, followed by a swirl of vanilla cream and a subtle baked-pastry warmth.
