Champs de Fraises (Batch 1)

We searched high and low for the perfect strawberry to add to our wild ale. We were not satisfied with the aroma and flavor until we discovered a unique variety from Oregon. It’s bright red flesh, sweet perfume and wild strawberry character is the perfect match for our beer, Champs de Fraises (Strawberry fields). A generous dose of strawberries were allowed a tertiary fermentation with a wheat based beer matured up to 3 years in 50% French and 50% American oak barrels. A fresh sweet strawberry perfume gives way to earthy funk, bracing acidity and malt undertones. A lively carbonation and underlying oak tannins create a thoroughly refreshing beverage. A santé!
