Blended Golden Sour with Apricots
Sunsmasher is a golden sour beer fermented with Brettanomyces and aged on 250g/l Apricots. Blended from three different batches of base beer, all of which were brewed with local barley, wheat and oats. Of the three batches, two were completely unhopped providing deep citrus/peach acidity and subtle funk, whilst the third batch was lightly hopped, producing more intense tropical funk with a restrained acidity.
The resulting blend holds a good balance of these characteristics producing juicy tropical, stone fruit and citrus characters which complements the hefty addition of apricot.
