A: Poured into a snifter to a golden yellow that's a little hazy. The beer is topped by a small white head which fades quickly to a collar around the edge of the glass with minimal lacing.
S: Smells of juicy apricots with a hint of sourness and a touch of funky oak
T: Taste is sour apricots and pluot up front with a little bit of oak, a touch of pale malt and hint of funk. On the finish there's more apricot and pluot goodness, some slight sourness, and a little lingering funky oak
M: The beer has a body which is on the lighter side of medium with a slightly creamy feel. Carbonation is adequate for the style and lightly effervescent while the beer has a drying finish due to the acidity.
O: Overall this is a really well done beer. Great flavor, great balance, and a pleasant level of acidity.

375 mL bottle into Jolly Pumpkin tulip.
Easy drinking sour brew…fruity-tart more than puckering sour. Aged with apriums and pluots (had to look it up…similar fruit, and aprium is more apricot than plum where a pluot is more plum than apricot), pit fruit more prominent in the nose than on the palate, where the flavors are more funky, dry and tart. Easy to quaff for the ABV, medium finish.
I read on Untappd that this was retired…tis not.
