tart apricots, lots of apricot flavors, puckering, lovely funky and sourness, great stone fruit taste, a bit sharp finish though, still like it

12.7 oz. Aroma is funky, bretty, lemon, dusty old books. Pours hazy pale golden with a two finger cream-white head with excellent retention. Taste is moderately sour (7/10) and highly bitter, finishing dry, with flavors of brett, lemon, blood orange. Interesting.

Hazy pale yellow pour with almost no head Good intensity in the aroma Mellow carbonation level Dry and a bit acidic Pastry….hmmm maybe because of the vanilla But the vanilla was more disturbing than good in this beer Also lemon, pale malt and grapes [On tap at Café Sara in Oslo, Norway]

Bottle from Holiday Market. Pours a clearish honey gold with no head. Almost still looking. Oak, orange zest and and orange flesh on the nose. Some warming alcohol also noticeable. Tart, acidic lemon zest notes with with more bright Sunkist orange flavors. Slight grainy wheat texture on the palate with lingering orange, tart lemon and honey on the finish.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a deep ruby to purple with a quickly dissipating pink head. Dark muscat, wildberry and what I can assume to be elderberry aromas. Very vinous on the palate with slight tannin fuzziness alongside notes of tart berry and slight earthy flavors. Lingering acidity, tannic fuzzies and berry flavors linger.
