330ml bottle - day 23 of the 2018 Craft Beer Advent Calendar. A 'hoppy sour apricot ale'.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden straw colour, with four fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly chalky white head, which leaves some wafting ash profile lace around the glass as it quickly sinks away.
It smells of indistinct exotic and sour dark stone fruit, gritty and grainy cereal malt, lactose, and more subtle leafy, floral, and herbal green hop bitters. The taste is more muddled tropical fruit, faint ripe apricot flesh, grainy and bready pale malt, lightly soured milk, and more earthy, musty, and grassy hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-coating frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and actually quite smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad around here. It finishes off-dry, the mixed frootiness exhibiting some lingering legs.
Overall - this comes across as a rather well-made version of the style (Fruit Kettle Sour, IMHO), fairly refreshing and easy to put back. And for once, I'm not going to complain about the sub-5% ABV, as I've got other larger fish to fry in the immediate future.
