Sampled from tap at 'Be Unorthodox'. Hazy, golden orange with a white head. Sweetish, a little sourish, quite fruity aroma of candied apricot, red wine and a touch of glue. Moderately sweet, medium sour, quite fruity and a bit woody taste of candied apricot, vinegar, red wine and a touch of glue, followed by a medium long, quite tart, slightly vinegary, moderately dry and a bit woody finish. Almost medium-bodied, smooth, quite astringent and a bit effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Interesting beer, unbelievable that's it's only got 5.5% abv, has some flaws though which I'm not too fond of. Disappointing.

Sampled from bottle @ RBBWG 2018, hosted by Beerlovers Bar, Antwerp. Hazy murky pale yellow color, average sized white head. Aroma is a nice mix of apricot sweetness with tart influences. Flavor is more sour than the aroma suggests, but still quite nice apricot in there mixed with the sour. Suitable mouthfeel. Definitely ok.

Bottle sample @ RBBWG Mar 10h. 2018, thanks Rubin77. Paille brumeuse, le col est léger blanc. Arôme offre un bouquet richement bien fruité mettant bien en avant les abricots sur de belles effluves de barriques, le vin arrive de manière subtile en rétro. Palais est léger, abricot bien là sur effet doux, laissant un léger picotement en fin de bouche et cet effet poilu en bouche, retrouve un effet presque farineux et tropical; La barrique complète le tout offrant un caractère de vin plaisant et léger, le profil aigre/sour est modéré et pas agressif comme sur des versions américaines.
