On tap at the brewery. Aroma has a light oak note with a hint of graininess. Light rose hip and moderate orange peel. A hint of a butterscotch. Pours a hazy, golden orange with a small white head that recedes to the edge where it lingers for a bit. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is fairly acidic with a light graininess. Medium light oak notes with quite a bit of citrus, especially orange. Faint rose hip notes. Medium light bitterness and a touch of butterscotch in the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a pretty nice beer but I do not get much of the rose hip character. Good acidity and orange notes, but the base beer doesn’t seem very exceptional.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma has a moderately strong lemon lime character. Moderate acidity with a light coriander phenolic note. Pours a hazy, pale yellow gold with a small white head that quickly recedes to the edges. Light lacing and small legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with quite a bit of lemon lime character. Like the aroma, there is a small phenolic character as well. Light oak notes and a touch of an odd chemical character. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an alright beer but the base beer seems a touch off. Lots of fruitiness and citrus. Could use a bit more carbonation. Not much oak character.

Tasting at Matt’s
Cloudy amber color, small head. Funky aroma of malt, old cellar, feet, yeast, fruity, apricots, light strawberries; a bit original, overall interesting. Too much carbonation; smooth and lean mouthfeel; quite sour, but not supported by enough body. Some acetone spoils the experience.
Great aroma, not convincing flavor.

On tap at the brewery. Aroma has a lot of apricot character with hints of oak and light acidity. Much more fruit than I was expecting. Pours a hazy golden orange with a thin white head that lingers for quite a bit. Medium light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is moderately tart with hints of malt. Medium light oak tannins with moderate fruit notes. Light citrus and less fruit than in the aroma. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice apricot sour but a bit one dimensional. I like the aroma, but the flavor has less fruit and both could use more funkiness.

Bottle shared in NYC - thanks to drsandman. Pours cloudy orange-yellow with a creamy white topping. The aroma holds lots of peach, apricot, lemon. Light sweet flavor, quite tart, a little salty, with nips of tangerine, lemon acidity. Light bodied with fine, massaging carbonation. Somewhat bracingly tart on the finish with more lemon, peach, lemon squash, apricot. Very nice beer overall. Quite refreshing.
