5oz pour at brewery. Pours clear gold. Aroma has a ton of cloves and dried apricots. Flavour has cloves, apricots; great barrel character. Lots of tartness and acidity, funky throughout. Excellent, very refreshing.

Very light gold body and okay foam. Excellent tart apricot aroma, soft barrel funk, rustic yet sweet and inviting. Taste is plenty of tart apricot, soft sweetness, and wonderful barrelly malt aftertaste. A little thin and could use more carbonation, but otherwise excellent.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, as "1000 Times Yes - Apricot"
Cloudy dark blond colour. Strong apricot aroma, and quite strong flavour too; I like the base beer, it's sour but with a touch of sugar, and it has some mild funky note, traces of dough in the finish.
Excellent.

Draught @ Alibi. Hazy, and a light tan colour. Thin head. Tart nose with nice fruit and barrel. Fleshy, juicy apricots and a nice mellow bitterness. The malts are actually a bit husky, but only if you study the beer would you notice this. I think.

On tap at the Alibi Room, pours a hazy golden orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out bright apricots, with a fragrant wild yeast character. Flavour bursts of bright, fresh apricots and a wonderful funky wild yeast character. Juicy, perfectly acidic, and barnyardy. Frankly, this is brilliant - wonderful use of fruit and funk.
