On tap at Luppolo. Pours murky blonde with a white head. Nose is very light with some notes of wild yeast and dried apricots. Flavour is also pretty subdued, mostly yeast coming through with some tartness from the apricots, which come through very gently. Fairly tame and uninteresting.

A hazed golden ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity malt with light grassy hops, light mineral notes, faint apricot. In mouth, sweet fruity malt nice apricot pulp, light tropical fruits, light acidic notes, Epsom salts, pleasant. On tap at brewery.

Modest foggy yellow body and little foam, soft peppery grain on the nose with no noticeable apricot. Flavour is soft yeast funk, tin, and citrus. The apricot must have taken a vacation, I mean it's kind of cool in early October here but still worth sticking around to get your beer right.

Draught at the brewery; 6% ABV
Cloudy blond colour. The aroma is fresh, lemony; the mouthfeel is dry and indeed tart, acidic, a bit lemony, with very light traces of dough; no apricot though.
Ok Sour. Simple but quite clean, and with good, aggressive character.

On tap at Luppolo, pours a hazy dull golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out light apricots and just a touch of wild notes. Flavour is very tart and juicy, with lots of ascorbic apricots, lots of citrus and a hint of wild yeast. Simple and lacking depth, but pleasant enough.

Draught @ Alibi. Dull, light tan...has a bit of an apricot accent. Not much head. Light apricot nose, hints of clean kettle sour. Tart but also there's a lot of sweetness from the apricot. Good body. Doesn't bring anything special to the table but it's a decent beer.

Taster at Alibi Room with Sonnet after Core2. Pours an opaque hazy golden with a white head. Aroma is very pleasant with flowery, fruity, and apricot notes. Taste is similar, low to moderate sour, with with some flowery and stone fruits notes. I expected more apricots in the taste, but it is still nicely done thing.
