Shifting Sands is a sour golden ale that is in essence, the canvas for future editions of the beer. Each version of Shifting Sands will have a different treatment of varieties of fruit, and will re-ferment and age in barrels or foeders. The idea behind this project is to play with various fruit re-fermentation in a semi-constant environment, creating each time a balanced beer that both showcases the fruit used, and respects the base sour gold, Shifting Sands. The inaugural incarnation, Shifting Sands: Peach, had more than 500 kg of fresh peaches added to the oak foeder it was fermented and aged in. It was left to mature three months, with the intention of drying out the initial sweetness added by the fruit. Shifting Sands: Peach pours orange gold with light foam. The aroma has a fruity tang to it, with peach skins and light wine-like notes. Tastes tart and fruity, the peach character is soft but present. Finishes dry with some tannins.

    Thanks to PaleAleRider for this one from Beau's brewery. A slight hazed golden-yellow colour with a white cap that leaves quickly and a ring is left. The peach is nicely blended in the nose with the sourness and mild earthiness. The taste is more sour with the peach in the finish. Becomes cloudy at last pour. The peach is very well-blended in this one. Another nice brew from this brewery.
