This one-of-a-kind NW sour is a blend of Belgian strong blondes aged in white port barrels with raspberries, then blended with select barrels of strong blondes that were aged on the toasted meat from the apricot nut, or Noyeaux.

2015 vintage 25oz bottle poured into a pils glass
Pours a very pretty apricot reddish-orange and incredibly opaque and murky.
Barrel and oak right off the nose and it stays like that the whole time. Apricot comes out a hint as it warms up
Tart, strong oak again and barrel. Raspberry tartness but less so of the actual berry flavor. Nuttiness comes out from the noyaux as it warms too.
Fairly light and easily drinkable for an 8.5%
Well worth my $12 and I'd happily have it again

2015 bottling into Grimm tulip.
Poured a beautiful deep, translucent orange with a finger or two worth of head. Little to no lacing.
Smells great. Big, sour citrus notes, not much beyond that. Warmed up to a spruce pine tone. Solid
The taste is where it comes together, super refreshing with a mellow apricot complementing the tart berry affront. Hints at oak and white grape for me
Effervescent, borderline champagne feel, soon sidelined by the spunk and funk of yeast cultures.
Very complex, surprisingly. good on a sunny late spring/early summer afternoon. Will most definitely have another. Delicious!

Pours golden orange and extremely fizzy to start most likely because it’s a 2013 project. Aroma is fruity and tangy. Taste is complex with hints of raspberry and apricot lined with the barrel. Sour ending and oaky finish.
