Aurelian Lure is barrel-aged wild ale re-fermented with apricots.
We barrel-aged beer brewed with well water, Texas grain, and a blend of fresh and aged hops for about a year in neutral oak. We then created a blend and added fresh, hand-processed apricots at a ratio of four pounds per gallon. The result is a highly aromatic beer bursting with fresh, tangy apricot flavor. We hope you enjoy the return of one of our favorite fruit beers we make at Jester King.

Bottle received in trade. Thank you Jeffrey! Pours vibrant hazy pale orange with a rather small frothy white head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is sour and fruity with heavy apricots, yuzu juice hay, dry soil, lemongrass, lemon zest, apricot skins, yoghurt, minerals and subtle hints of barnyard. Taste is sour and fruity with crackers, heavy apricots, yuzu juice, lemon juice, hay, dry soil, horse blanket, lemon zest and leather. Mouthfeel is crisp, dry, tart, mouth-puckering and light bodied. Finish is sour and fruity with crackers, heavy apricots, lemon juice, hay, dry soil, lemon zest and horse blanket. Tastes like fresh and vintage Fou’Foune at the same time. Huge apricot tastiness with a prominent complex acidity. Very good...

375mL bottle, pours a cloudy opaque pale orange with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of loads of fresh apricot jam, not much else - probably the most apricoty I've ever smelled in a beer. Flavour is similar, bringing out loads of pure fresh apricot jam, more apricot jam, and more... Probably the most apricoty beer I've ever had. Very intense on the dried fruit. Quite complex, with loads of depth, but it's rather one-dimensional. Good, but I expected more.
