Bottle. Pours hazy peach-tangerine, medium off-white head, kinda fizzy, dissipates quickly to a ring with decent lacing. Aroma is full of strawberry, stonefruit. Flavor is apricot and strawberry indeed, loads of apricot skin, faint notes of sulphur, lactose, mineral water. Light plus tart, light funk, really fruity. Medium body, soft mouthfeel. Excellent as usual.

Bottle from Cap Tap. Pours hazy peach juiced color with a transient white head. Sweet/tart apricot aroma. Strawberry support. Med body or almost. Flavor is very mild sweet/tart with lots of strawberry and also apricot. Finishes dryish and lightly, lightly tart/sour. Goes nicely with a big red, ripe strawberry.

Taproom draft into a shot-glass showing hazy opaque apricot with white foam lacing. The nose is sweet and jammy strawberry forward with hints of apricot. The palate is highly carbonated and medium bodied. Moderately tart but strawberry jam forward throughout with nectarine on the resurgence. Refreshing and fruit forward.
