750mL bottle from the brewery, drunk 12/30/25, as pictured.
Almost four years on and it's still bursting with fresh, beautiful apricot character in the nose. Biscuit/cracker malt in the background with moderate oak and moderate lactic acidity. No acetic here, thankfully. The apricots absolutely steal the show.
Bright, juicy, acidic, very fruity with wonderful apricot flavor, but a good deal of acid, as SP is wont to do with their fruited sours (though it's become much better in the last year or so). Not acetic, so it's bearable, and the apricot is fantastic. But yeah...this is cringe/pucker levels of acid (though it clears pretty quickly).

The minute you walked in the joint, I could see you were a beer of distinction, a real big sour. Good looking, so refined. Fruity and super acidic, but not really apricot on the front. Does come through in the back, unsulfured dried. Moreish. Jazz Hands!

FLN, nice tart and sweet funk, medium high acidity, not an apricot bomb but enjoyable balance of flavor, funk, and acid.
