This has made a return! It's a pleasant combination of spring fruit and winter spices to bring you a gingered apricot crumble in a glass! It pours a bright orange and the apricot takes a backburner allowing the spices to shine through on the aroma. However, the apricot addition takes over the mouthfeel, making it a fruity, thick and creamy Berliner with a touch of crisp acidity to round out the gulp. The COVID-10lbs doesn't have to be a thing if you drink your dessert!

8.4/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Super deep hazy, brown, golden and peach coloured body, almost fully opaque, with a bright apricot glow and a very thin, single centimetre tall just off-white head that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of soured, tart and very funky ginger and bretty, lactobilly fruit elements with the apricots, peaches, apples and especially limes in the mix along with some allspice, canella and graham cracker elements, but the scent is quite pungent, in a very good way with more varying aromas coming from this than most in the style and in general. Medium to almost Full-bodied; Super rich malty and wheat bite shows some body at first with a lot of residual sugars coming mainly from the fruits with some apricots, peaches, apples and pears adding to the mix, but the most robust element here is easily the spices that have ginger (of course), in powdered form noticeable along with a good dose of allspice and canella and finishing with the lactose and creamy, deep, full-bodied profile. Aftertaste shows the fruits, the tart and funky yeast elements, but the spice and sweetness combine to make this a very nice beer and quite unique in terms of a holiday-ish beer that is flavourful, pungent yet easy-drinking. Overall, a very nice beer, complete with everything that you'd expect from the [rather complicated] label of the beer, showing ginger, apricots, canella, vanilla and of course bunches of lactose. This one was nice and well-recommended, if you can find this still, or if they produce more of this for the holidays this year or in subsequent years. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from The Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 05-June-2020 for US$5,03 sampled at my house here in Washington on 21-November-2020, while this was canned on all the way back on 23-April-2019.
