August Schell Starkeller Peach

August Schell Starkeller Peach. Mixed culture sour Berlin-style wheat ale aged on peaches and apricots. Aged in 1936 Wooden Tanks. Methode Traditionelle. 


7.2 % ABV, Starkeller Brewery & Taproom, New Ulm, MN.

Lightly clouded, golden hued, no head.

In the nose: strong aromatics, billowing tart. Vinegar and funk. Fruit below. 

In the mouth: Big tart on the palate, juicy fruit on the side. Delightful wild ale. Light bodied, well-balanced and delicious. Just a little bit of sweet to match the sour. Good wild ale and you can drink it. 

Starkbier Berliner Weisse aged on Peaches. This strong Berliner Weisse was brewed with an extensive decoction mash schedule and fermented with an authentic mixed culture then aged for nearly a year in our original 1936 cypress wood lagering tanks before 5500 pounds of peaches were added for a four month, tertiary fermentation.

Starkeller Peach is hazy, golden orange in color and bursts with the aroma of ripe peach skin. It is full-bodied and fairly dry, with the sweet, tart flavor of peaches, lemons and nectarines.
