Peckham's Cider, a renowned New Zealand-based brewery, has crafted an intriguing and experimental wild ale known as the Brett Monster 18. This unique offering is a blend of three distinct Brett yeast strains, fermented in French oak barrels for an impressive 18 months. The result is a complex and captivating beer that pours a hazy golden hue, topped with a white, well-retained head that leaves a delicate lacing on the glass. The aroma is a harmonious blend of fruity, spicy, and oaky notes, with hints of sourness and a touch of barnyard character, enticing the senses. On the palate, the Brett Monster 18 delivers a complex flavor profile, mirroring the aroma. The tart and funky notes mingle with a vinous character, creating a delightful balance of fruit, spice, and oak. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is enhanced by a moderate carbonation, providing a smooth and creamy texture that lingers pleasantly on the tongue.
