This unreasonably tasty blend of blond sours was meticulously culled from sours that had spent between 1 to 3 years in red wine barrels. It was then stuffed with absurd amounts of apricots, yielding a wonderfully funky beverage with a bright, delightful fruit character that’s enchantingly complex and deeply quenching.

375 mL bottle into a tulip
Another reminder of how sad the state of the beer industry is in, especially Modern Times. They had started to perfect all their styles (except, ironically, hazy IPA’s), and this brew is a one of a kind and hits on all aspects of what they were trying to do
Plum-purple color, effervescent, with a pit fruit-sweet nose and all kinds a lactic acid
Puckering on the palate as well, with tons of apricot and oak, along with hints of cherry and honey. Medium, clean finish with little lingering residuals.
Also, this bottle has been sitting around my house in for four years, just put it in the fridge last week and it’s phenomenal.

Salty sweet, slightly funky, tart apricot nose on this one! Taste follows with a slightly sweet and tart, underripe peach/apricot vibe upfront...and then a slightly salty, acidic funkiness on the finish. This has nice depth to it and a zappy/crisp feel...Good!
