As apricots ripen in the orchard, these delicate, golden-orange fruits develop complex tartness and funky floral aroma. Our fascination with the flavors this fruit exhibits inspired the creation of Map of the Sun. Golden sour beer was conditioned on apricots in oak barrels, maximizing the rich jammy notes and velvety mouth expressed by the fruit. This beer celebrates the beginning of summer highlighting all of the delightfully sour nuances of an apricot.

Draught@CBC2016. Hazy golden colour with a white head. Aroma is citrus, some funk, apricot, some tropical fruity elements as well as some biscuity and bready malts. Flavour is somewhat tart with pricots, lemongrass, some biscuity maltiness and a bit of wooden tones. Nice dry palate, which makes you long for another sip.
