We use 2.7 pounds of fresh apricots per gallon of our Lambic-inspired Ale, to make pFriem Abrikoos. That may sound like a lot, but once you taste the pungent aromas of sweet dried apricots, grape, and cantaloupe and tart and tangy notes of baked lemons, pineapple nectar and canned peaches, we think you’ll agree, it’s just right.

(355ml bottle shared @ Nische's tasting, thanks to the host!) Pours somewhat hazy orange-gold with a small white head. Notes of heavy cider vinegar with some fruit steeped in; probably apricot but more generally orange fruit and citrus zest, also lactic acid and somewhat earthy leathery wood with prominent tannins and a light to moderate funky component. Medium-full slick body, low carbonation. Nah, not for me, this is pretty much vinegar and the apricots have gone missing. If it's lambic inspired then it's lambic gone bad...

Tap at the brewpub in Hood river. This was really really really good. Powerful apricot flavours match a very well done sour. Iambic inpsired they say and they did a good job

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver
Cloudy blond color. The aroma is a bit fruity and acetic. Dry, mildly sour, light stone fruit, way too acetic.

Bottle. Pours a mostly clear orange hue with a medium white head. A big woody fruity nose. A big sour apricot bite, woody, certainly a round melon sweet flavor. Lovely. Sharp.

Bottle on the RBSG bus. Pours a hazy golden orange color with a small beige head. Aroma of citrus and farmyard, lots of apricot, funk. Tastes fruity and a little sweet, moderate sour. Nice apricot flavors, a little dusty straw, vinous, and oak. Has a few vibrant little bits of citrus.
