St Abigail 2025: White Peach

St Abigail is an ale made with white peaches. It is named for Chris and Emily's second daughter.

St Abigail is a golden barrel aged ale wholly fermented by a diversity of yeasts and bacteria collected from native flowers in NSW refermented with white peaches. It is named for Chris and Emily’s second daughter. Saint Abigail was a medieval healer and beekeeper from County Clare, Ireland.

In 2025, St Abigail was made by blending barrel aged golden mixed culture fermentation ale with 430kg of fresh, whole, handpicked, tree ripened white peaches from Thornbrook Orchard in Nashdale, NSW. After a five month maceration and refermentation of fruit and beer, it was bottled and allowed to naturally carbonate and mature before release.

The label artwork was done by Abigail's auntie, Bernadette.

Tasting notes: The fruit this year was wonderfully ripe and has provided a really moreish mouthfeel. A lot of fruit sweetness across the mid-palate, which generally yields to a bright-acid finish, but this year's edition comes to a close with a textural, oaky backend.
