FoBAB Chicago, 2007. The program’s listing called it "intentionally still," but it has a nice bubbly texture of sparkling cider. Grapes again, and some apricot as described. Suggests a Belgian Special B malt profile. Easy drinking and very much like a dessert wine: Fruity, nicely sweet and lightly alcoholic.
