Bomber @ Tokyo Midtown tasting, thanks Walter. Orange pour, not much foam. Sweet fruity apricot, kind of dried fruits that have some sugar sweetness coming out, light fruity hop marmalade. Taste has good tart overall character, bit funky and with juicy tart dried apricote fruit marmalade. Dry and light bitterness lingering there in the finish. Really liking this one actually interesting sour fruity iPA. Nom-nom.

Draft. A- Caramel, bready, musty. A- Orange color, clear liquid, white head. T- Dusty, caramel, subtle apricot. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, musty finish. O- Weird. Not sour or bitter or much apricot. Lots of dirty tasting caramel. Not sure if this was old or what but it didn't feel right.

750 mL bottle, left in my fridge by Zach. Thanks, dude! Pours hazy orange, with a small, fizzy, beige head. The aroma is lovely apricot and mandarins, with some Greek yogurt, cloves, and toast. Sweet and citrusy, with a mild bitterness through the finish. Mellow tart flavor throughout. Medium body, hard, a little acidic, and nicely carbonated. This is a solid, balanced, and fun beer.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 8/1/2016. Pours slight hazy medium golden/amber color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tart/tangy apricot, peach, pineapple, lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, mango, melon, passion fruit, papaya, guava, green apple, white wine, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, bread, light lacto funk, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/tropical hops, apricots, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart/tangy apricot, peach, pineapple, lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, mango, melon, passion fruit, papaya, guava, green apple, white wine, light pepper/pine, wheat, cracker, bread, light lacto funk, and floral/grassy earthiness. Moderate fruity/lactic tartness and pine/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of tart apricot, peach, pineapple, lemon, lime, grapefruit, tangerine, mango, melon, passion fruit, papaya, guava, green apple, white wine, pepper, pine, light lacto funk, and floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops, apricots, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitter/tartness balance, and zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from bitter/tartness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation an body; with a very smooth, moderately acidic/grainy/sticky, and slightly creamy/saline balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.25%. Overall this a great kettle soured IPA! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/tropical hops, apricots, fruity/acidic yeast, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth refreshing, and easy to drink with the balanced acidity/bitterness. I expected this to be much more sour/lactic; but the balance between tartness, bitterness, and malt character is pretty much perfect. Really great tropical complexity from the yeast, fruit, and hops. A really delicious offering.

750 c&c from Corti Bros. Pours orangey gold with a slight, transient white head. Aroma is a little sour, a little pale prunus. Med minus body. Flavor is a little sour, a little apricot pit (like sucking on it). Mildly sourish. A little earthy - perhaps a bit pedio. Dry. Not bitter. Refreshing.
