Pouring a lightly hazy orange yellow, Apricot Stonington has a stone fruit intensive nose with undertones of white grape, light toasted oak, and a mild earthy funk. Bold profiles of apricot nectar and overripe yellow peach are balanced against a crisp, biscuity malt backbone and a touch of oak spice on the palate. Finishes semisweet with a pleasant acidity and light mouthfeel.

Pours hazy apricot into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes to nightie. Sour lacto apricot aromas. Soft with tart lactose and apricot upfront turning to dry oaked white wine and hot hay in the lasting finish.

Keg at Ratebeer Best Beer Festival. 31/01/2016. A hazed golden orange coloured pour with a halo of white head. Aroma is tart lacto, tangy, apricot and a hint of smoke fruit. Flavour is composed of spicy citrus fruit, tangy lemon and underripe apricot, funky peach. A little musty funk action. Palate is highish carbonation, sour/ tart with a drying finish. Good.

On tap at Ratebeer Best. Pours a hazy orange with small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is strong stone fruit, oak, funk, dough. Medium body, funky, yeast, lacto, stone fruit, oak, light acidity, really enjoyed this.

750 ml bottle, ClarkVV with the share, much thanks! Nice pour, clear orange color, no head. Aroma is tons of oak, mild apricot, mild lactic acid. Nice.
The oak character is bold, subtle fruit right throught the center. The body is lighter with a moderate oak finish. Very mild and enjoyable

750ml bottle bottled April 15th 2015.
Pours a cloudy orange yellow with a small head of foam that doesn’t stick around all that long. No lacing even after I swirl the beer in my glass.
The smell is apricot to the max. Like holding one up to my nose.
The oak comes through after that initial blast and overall, there’s a very tempting tartness that I can’t wait to dive into.
Real apricot flavour backed up by a well integrated taste from the oak and an easy peasey level of tartness makes this oh so delicious.
Medium body with lightish carbonation.
A bloody brilliant beer here!

Sampled at the RateBeer Best festival 2016. Pours lightly hazy orange-gold with a white foam head. The nose holds an abundance of tangy apricots. Light sweet flavour, lightly tart, with some pithy citrus, tangerine, still plenty of apricot going around. Light bodied with average carbonation. Clean on the finish, tart and fresh, with more citrus and apricot flavours. Lovely beer.

Keg at RB Best Festival, 31/01/16. Lightly hazed pale golden with a moderate off White covering. Nose is sharp apricot, pissy citrics, damp straw, green apple, wood must. Taste comprises green berry fizz, funk, tarte apricot pulp, plum stones, damp straw, light acidic vibe. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a tarte apricot showdown. Balanced and on point ... Solid stuff.

750mL bottled 9/21/15, drunk 2/5/16.
Glad the second batch was a little easier to procure and it looks like sitting on the bottle for the past four months has, if anything, benefited the beer.
Deep apricot-copper colored body shows high clarity, tons of carbonation and a large, off-white head that steadily fades to a ring.
Funky, tart and oaky in the nose with a strong, but not overbearing amount of apricot character. Some light touches of alcohol entwine with the oak and lactic character. No flaws.
Tart up front, with lightly sharp oak notes adding a strong wood character and light maltiness adding honey-caramel and creating a soft texture in concert with the tight carbonation. Apricot flavor emerges in the middle, sitting on the finish as well and having a very authentic, enjoyable flavor to it while also not overshadowing the beer aspects of the beer. Wild yeast and bacterial influences abound with all manner of funk being found here. A bit of heat to the beer and the flavors are still a bit aggressive/unhomogenized, so I’m very confident another 6 months should really improve this beer and it could no doubt go much longer than that if desired. Excited to revisit.
