On tap at the brewery. Aroma has a medium apricot note with some great hop notes that add tropical fruit, melon and a bit of a spicy herbal note. Medium light citrus and acidity. Pours a hazy, golden orange with a meidum small, white head of moderate thickness and retention. Medium light lacing and small legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with a fairly strong apricot character and some light citrus notes. Some low bitterness and light oak notes. Medium light tropical fruit and citrus hop notes with a bit of lemon and herbal spice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, this is a super beer that works really well. The hops really compliment and accentuate the apricot notes. The oak and acidity adds nice character. One of the best beers from this brewery.

Growler shared by Eric at Capitol Beer in Sacramento, CA. Pours amber gold with a slight white head. Aroma of delicious coffee. Med + body. Flavor is sour, a bit citric, very coffee, malty. Seems to get a vanilla note with time. A very smooth, sour extremely tasty coffee sour. Finishes like having had a green coffee bean in the mouth. Done well indeed.

750ml bottle pours a murky yellow with some soft, white head. Nose has a lot of lime and ginger, some straw, some wood, a little buttery oak, some white grape, lemongrass. Flavor has more of the ginger, but it’s not biting or harsh, lemongrass, straw, lime, white grape, mild hints of vanilla, some yogurt. Medium bodied, refreshing finish. Very nice.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma has a medium acidity with quite a bit of tropical fruit, mostly pineapple and some stone fruit, mostly peach and nectarines. Low pear character. Light oak notes. Moderate citrus notes. Pours a slightly hazy, golden orange with a small thin white head that quickly recedes to the edges where it lingers for a bit. Medium light lacing and no legs. Flavor is fairly acidic with a medium light oak note with light oak tannins. Medium light tropical and stone fruit. Medium citrus notes. Low bitterness. Faint mustiness. Only light acidity in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty decent sour with nice fruit character. A bit more complex of a yeast profile than I am used to getting from RB sours.
