Enjoyed it more than the last apricot sour, more upfront flavor, not as thin, more stable.

Draught @ Popeye, Tokyo. Oaky, sourish and slightly tart with some apricot, wood, vanilla and funky farmyard notes. Quite tasty and balanced.

Sample from a bottle at beer meets wood. Hazy peach color with a thin white head. Lots of apricot in the flavor and nose as well as plenty of earthy tart to counter. Nice sour.

Draft at Bert’s in Millersville. Thick orange marmalade color. No head with all this acid. Aroma is full of juicy apricot skins. Sourness thickness abound. A little canned peach syrup as well. Flavor has a biting sourness, rally tickling my cheeks. Fruit is there but less so than nose. Very sour skins finish. A bit too sour but it’s fun as heck.

On draught at Bob’s Bar during the "Avery Summer Showcase!" event on 06/29/2017. The beer is a cloudy orange color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing. Aroma of apricot, yeast and malt. Medium body with flavors of tart apricot, funky yeast, oak and biscuit malt. The finish is moderately sour and oaky with a stone fruit aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Tasting at Matt’s, bottled 1/26/17
Hazy golden color. Deep sour and fruity aroma, apricots. Aggressive sourness, some fruit presence, some vinegar, strong but not very elegant.
