COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Inspired from a conversation with good friend and editor of the Great Lakes Brewing News, Bill Metzger, Brewmaster Steve blended a Belgian Amber Ale with 120# of Michigan Harmony peaches from Husteds Farm Market in a merlot cask. 4 wild yeast fermentations later and yet another cask aging results in an exquisite sour peach ale.

hopscotch (8217) - Vero Beach, Florida, USA - OCT 31, 2009
Bottle… October ’09 O-Town Throwdown… Lightly hazed amber ale with a fizzy white head. The nose is all about funkiness – sweaty sock – vanilla and wood. Full-bodied with kicked-back carbonation. The flavor is tart, fruity and a touch boozy. Fruity, tangy finish… then it dries way out. Bottle provided by Beerlando !

Bottle from WeeHeavySD at toncatcher’s T3. Cloudy amber color. Sour peach. Lightly sweet. Easy to drink. Nice! Should this be 4% instead of 14%?
