Highlights

“Perc's Tag Team series packages two lots from one farm so they can be brewed side by side. This release comes from El Vergel in Colombia. The Semi-Washed half takes whole cherries through a 36-hour pre-fermentation before they are depulped and fermented anaerobically in their own mucilage for 120 hours, then dried mechanically for 30 days down to 11% moisture. The Adv Natural half runs ripe cherries through a 12-hour pre-fermentation and 24 hours of anaerobic fermentation, then dries them in a mechanical silo and on raised beds to 11% moisture. Both land at the same moisture mark but split in the cup: the Semi-Washed side leans on sweet citrus acidity with white grape, jasmine and sweet tea, while the Adv Natural side turns toward purple grape, blackberry and brown sugar.”
