Bottle. A- Apricot, vinous, oak. A- Amber color, clear liquid, minimal beige head. T- Tangy, oak, light red wine, mild apricot, some funk, fairly acidic. P- Light body, prickly texture, high carbonation, tangy finish. O- Not sure how many years this had on it. Definitely had a tang, but was pleasant and not overly mouth puckering. There is a light apricot or peach flavor but I do with that was stronger. Nice overall. Just a touch too acidic for my liking. Tone it down and this would be awesome.

375mL bottle, pours a fairly clear dark amber orange with a tiny off-white head and tons of floaties. Aroma reveals plenty of apricots, loads of oak, and subtle vinous notes. Flavour is very acidic, with intense, sour, quite acidic apricots that make the cheek insides tingle; there's plenty of oak, subtle red wine, and some Worcestershire sauce in there, but much of that is overtaken by the apricot acidity. Could be quite good, but the acidity is way too overbearing -- common issue with North American sours. Decent, but needs plenty of work.
