(On tap @ the brewpub, Oct 24/23) Pours deep gold with a decent and stable white head with some lace. Aroma is really driven by dried apricot, that almost funky/sulphurous pungency it has clearly present, dried mango as well, herbal accents, soft malt. Flavour follows the nose in that it's driven heavily by the dried fruit, sugary in perception but not overly sweet, again the certain funkiness that the two dried fruits use, some peachy sweetness, touch of acidity from the apricot, herbal accents, a bit earthy, soft malt, finish is very low-bitterness, off-dry, touch of fruity tang. Medium-bodied, oily to creamy, soft carbonation. Fairly unique for a fruited IPA in the extent to which it really communicates dried fruit, making it a touch funky and wild in impression. Cool stuff.
