Trillium Brewing Company Apricot Stonington

The base beer for Apricot Stonington was brewed with 100% Valley Malt and fermented by our native New England mixed culture which was collected from grape skins at Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington, CT where JC & Esther Tetreault were married. This New England Saison is aged in French oak Chardonnay casks for sixteen months to layer in a bright vinous character before being blended back into stainless to carry out a secondary fermentation on apricots for three months. Pouring a lightly hazy orange-yellow, Apricot Stonington has a stone fruit intensive nose with undertones of white grape, lightly toasted oak, and mild earthy funk. Bold profiles of apricot nectar and overripe yellow peach are balanced against a crisp, biscuity malt backbone and a touch of oak spice on the palate. Finishes semisweet with a pleasant acidity and light mouthfeel.

Amarelo alaranjado e levemente turva, Apricot Stonington tem um aroma intenso de frutas de caroço com notas de uva branca, carvalho tostado e um suave “funk“ terroso. Perfis arrojados de néctar de damasco e pêssego amarelo maduro são equilibrados sobre uma espinha dorsal de malte crocante, biscoito e um toque de especiarias de carvalho no palato. Final meio amargo com acidez agradável e sensação leve na boca.
