Naparbier Apricot Fancy

This Wild Specialty Beer presents a sophisticated interplay of stone fruit and vinous complexity. Three years of maturation in red wine barrels imparts a structured tannic backbone and deep woody notes, beautifully framing the massive addition of fresh apricot. The initial kettle acidification with Lactobacillus provides a sharp lactic brightness, while the dual fermentation involving Saison yeast and a Belgian blend introduces layers of ripe pear, banana, and subtle plum. A delicate, lingering maltiness anchors the tartness, resulting in a vibrant, multi-layered profile where the stone fruit essence seamlessly integrates with the dry, oak-forward finish.
