Sampled at Borefts 2016, Bodegraven. Hazy light golden pour with no head. Notes of honey, peaches, apricots, overripe fruit, light citrus. Not too bad.

330ml bottle - 'Sun & Good Times (or the like)', this is an apricot and almond flour (huh?) infused Saison. Ish.
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden amber colour, with a teeming tower of puffy, rocky and chunky off-white head, which leaves a bit of remote islet lace around the glass as it rather quickly abates.
It smells of pungent dried apricots, sugary caramel/toffee malt, muddled domestic citrus fruit, a yogurt-forward lactic essence, some spicy and earthy yeastiness, a strange indistinct nuttiness, and some very tame leafy and perfumed floral hop bitters. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, some boozy apricot/peach fruitiness, testy and somewhat phenolic yeast, more generic nutty notes, bland citrus bowl essences, and more weak earthy, weedy, and estery floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is obviously overwrought in its pandering and invasive frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and not particularly smooth, as the tart fruit, yeast, and alcohol don't have that much communal apathy amongst themselves. It finishes just a smidge off-dry, the apricot stone fruit character not giving up just yet, but shedding a lot of its fructose nature.
Overall, this is a surprisingly affable offering, the apricots and almond guests doing well by their additive incursions. The extra few points of ABV are hardly noticeable, and I find myself enjoying this one the more I stop thinking about it - to that effect, I'm out.
