Appearance: Pours the color of peach nectar with a one finger head that fades to a ringlet; squiggles of lacing

Smell: Stone fruit and funky Brett; oaky, with the apricot dominant

Taste: Sweet and tart apricot flavors forward, with peach and nectarine tones detectable; plenty of funky Brett adds complexity; the finish is tart but the fruit remains in balance

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation; puckery

Overall: Seven years in and this is drinking memorably; I was a little nervous given the age but that turned out not to be a concern

Poured from a 750mL bottle into a Lost Abbey Teku glass. Acquired in a trade.

Pours a hazy golden orange body with a pretty fluffy, frothy three finger white head that rises out of the glass and reduces slowly, leaving heavy lacing and retention. Looks really nice.

Aromas are mesmerizing, peach and stone fruits galore, you can tell by the aroma that it's going to be sour. Funky overripe fruit and light oak dominate the nose.

On the tongue is juicy sour stone fruit, peach and apricot intermingled with citrus and lactic acid, followed by delicious notes of oak, funky hay, finishing crisp and tart, farmhouse funk. Mouthfeel is absolutely perfect, medium high carbonation and light body make it refreshing and sip demanding.

I was highly impressed with v015, this is near perfection when it comes to a fruited sour. Will seek out again.
