Can from Fort Point Market shelf, undated, drunk 6/18/22. Dark copper-golden, good clarity, with a small, white head showing light retention. Soft tannin, golden raisin and juicy citrus with light stone fruit, vanilla and mild oxidation. Moderate acidity with a touch of acetic character. Honey and biscuit from the ample malts helps balance. Juicy apricot, tart lactic and sour acetic notes with big, honey-like malts helping to add a solid texture and good balance. Juicy citrus, apricot, peach and light vanilla and tannin lingering alongside apricot and light acetic acid. Juicy, malty, intensely flavorful and pretty well-balanced, though there is a bit more acetic acid than I'd prefer.

Can from BrewDog. It pours clear rich orange with a small white head. The aroma is oak, musty, funk, wet hay, barnyard, almost aniseed, zingy citrus, salted lemon and a touch of vanilla. The taste is crisp, dry, tart, sour, puckering, tangy, kick of hot acidity, sherbert, sour candy, lemon peel, tangerine, apricot, oak, funk and a touch of tannin with a drying and slightly acidic finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Nice, but is a bit harsh in parts with that acidity.

8oz goblet at Three Penny pours a lightly hazy apricot gold with some lightly sticky white head. Nose is solid, apricots and peaches and nectarines, white wine and white wine vinegar, some neutral wood. Flavor isn't quite as good, apricots, canned peaches, sweet and sour peach candies, white wine vinegar. Finishes tart with a high level of acid that is teeth licking.
