Apricity (7.3% abv) is described as follows:
The newest member of the Eurus series is a blend of foeders and barrels that span 3 years. Apricity is an old English word for the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day. A bright acidity brought on by the use of Italian plums is contrasted by a soft, sweet, woody roundness imparted by sugar maple wood and a touch of maple syrup. Inspired by the classic reds of the Flanders region in Belgium, this foeder-aged Sour Ale is complex, refreshing, and surprisingly light. Apricity will perk up any cold winter’s night.⁣

Maple in the nose, bracingly bitter, then woody on the tongue with a sour plum finish. This is an unusual but really well made, balanced and tasty beer. Notwithstanding its Four Winds provenance, the complex ingredient list - plums, maple, oak - made me reluctant to try this beer. I was wrong, this is a beer that I first tasted December 27, 2020 and I could’na stop coming back to, until it was no longer available. I’m really hoping that they’ll brew it again, but it’s a sunny midwinter day in 2022 and no luck so far. I’m surprised that it’s described as a Flanders red styled beer; I love me Rodenbach and while Apricity is equally quaffable, it’s flavour profile is quite different.
