Garage Beer Co / Hudson Valley Thistleweed

This collaborative Wild Specialty Beer captures the essence of a stone-fruit-laden Sour IPA. A lush foundation of wheat and lactose creates a soft, fluffy texture, serving as a canvas for massive additions of peach and apricot. El Dorado and Citra Cryo hops are utilized in a low-temperature whirlpool, emphasizing bright tropical and stone fruit notes over bitterness. The result is a vibrant, sherbet-like profile where tangy acidity meets the creamy sweetness of vanilla. The high fruit volume ensures a dense, fruit-forward experience that balances a sharp, zesty lactic snap with a smooth, lingering finish reminiscent of a fruit pastry.
