We’ve been hoping to score local apricots for a few seasons now, and last fall, Peters Orchards took care of us. When the crates arrived, we had a batch of our woodsy, tangy Pennsylvania wild saison Farmette finishing up its time in red wine barrels. Fresh apricots and peaches add a sweet and tart roundness to the body amplified by fruity esters and subtle clove on the finish.
We taste: sweet and tart apricots, graham cracker, subtle clove

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: semi-dark copper color with no head and no lace
Aroma: apricot flesh and skin, tart & sweet, touch of sour, with some floral and vinous qualities backing that up, subtle grassy to oak whiffs further underneath
Flavor: vinously sweet with ample amounts of tart apricot skin blending with the oak, floral and grassy tones then adding in a touch of lemon pith; finishes vinous, apricot-like and semi-floral
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper, good dose of tart & sour vinous character aggression to the tongue but to me not overbearing
Overall: good sour/wild ale with apricots I believe I could have this again.

Pours a slightly hazy orange-gold color with a medium white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Sparse strings of lace. Aroma of apricot, yeast, oak and malt. Medium body with flavor of funky apricot, vinous oak, yeast and doughy malt. The finish is tart and funky with an apricot aftertaste. Pretty good overall.
