Bottle. A- Apricot, sour. A- Gold color, slightly hazy liquid, white head. T- Apricot, white pepper, tangy, lingering tartness. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- My NYE 2023 beer of choice. Loads of sour apricot. Perhaps not as complex as I wanted from SP and I've noticed I enjoy their taps more than bottles, but still great. Oak gives off some tang and the apricot adds a load of fruity tartness. Overall, pretty good.

Rock-It Bar, Whole Foods, Laguna Niguel. Part of a four beer flight (5 oz pours) on 10th July 2023. Blend #3 apparently, it's a 'sour puss' for sure. Slight misty body, golden in colour, wispy white head. Tart feel, apricots to the fore but they are unable or unwilling to power passed the sourness from what ever else has been added by the wild yeasts and barrel aging. Not my thing at all, but glad I found such a beer in a Californian supermarket bar!

Keg at Beavertown Extravaganza, 2017 - London. Pours unclear orange-gold with a foamy, white head. Hugely acidic, very dry, ample lemony bite, light funk. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Strongly acidic finish, a little apricot. Too acidic overall. Alright.

Thanks Virby44 for sharing! Teku showing peach with no head. The nose shows strong acidic notes of peaches. The palate is well carbonated and medium bodied. Highly tart and acidic with strong juicy notes of peach throughout.

Bottle, blend #3. Color: Hazy yellow golden, white head. Aroma: Fruity sour apricots, some funk. Taste: Medium tart and lightly sweet apricots, some over medium sour notes of lime and vinegar. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Notes of farm funk, oak, tannins. Vinuous. Dry-ish mouthfeel. Very well balanced, although pretty tart. Nice complexity. I like the clearly present Apricot flavours, stronger than in most other Sour / Wild beers I tasted before, that were also aged with Apricots.
