I See The Vision - Apricot And Boysenberry
Burlington Beer Co.

I see it...

 

 

 

 

Poured into a 13 oz Tired Hands Teku glass not sure when it was canned. Pours a very cloudy pinkish orange with a finger plus sticky white head that leaves big thick streaks of lace behind.?4.5

Smell is tart cherry, boysenberry, vanilla, apricot, and a healthy dose of grapefruit rind. 4

Taste follows more aggressive and assertive, immediately apricot, tart black cherry, boysenberry, vanilla, and grapefruit makes your entire palate pucker and make you beg for the next bold sip. 4

Mouthfeel is a big medium, plenty of life, definetly a bit dry, and not for everyone, but I am not backing down from this boldly bitter and sour treat. 4

Overall this I think I could get used to and it is nice to have something so different and I can actually see the appeal on this bitter juice bomb. 4

 

L: Deep pink with 1/2 inch of head. medium lacing

S: Fantastic aroma ripe with mango, stone fruit, citrus, and berries

T: Very tart, bordering on sour. Citra hops at the end come through quite nicely, though.

F: High carbonation, tart, and a bit of acid. Maybe a bit of pepper in there after a few sips, but I'm getting mostly a very acidic aftertaste.

O: BBCo has been offering a whole lot of their Vision series this summer. I've really been enjoying them. This one is a bit on the sour side, despite the apricot/boysenberry title. However, the aroma is fantastic. This is a really strong fruit IPA. Comparatively to some of the other BBCo options, it is a bit more sour than the paw paw/dragonfruit option, but more substantial than the peach/raspberry type.

Pours a murky rosehip color. Really interesting looking for an IPA.

Smell is full of sweet fruit, blackberries, apricot and vanilla. Exotic and juicy.

Taste starts out with a hint of tartness. This is followed by heaps of fruit, berries, apricot and mango. Finish is nice and hoppy. Very juicy and refreshing.

Mouthfeel is medium and soft, slightly under carbonated.

Overall, a very interesting and tasty IPA. Loads of fruit, and good bitterness.

 

The appearance was a muddled sort of grapefruit pulpy pink color. No head, but hey bar pour, I’m not worried. The aroma seemed to have a hard time opening up. But eventually, had some sweet apricot and some boysenberry. Slight orange juicy bitterness underneath. The flavor started off with a juicy bitterness, sharply hits the boysenberry adequately. Apricot cuts in to try and balance. Dry bitter juicy aftertaste. Sharply cuts the finish too. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt fine. Overall, good AIPA but I don’t think this is my favorite of the series.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pours out a milky-sludge looking pinkish gold color with bright white head - dense, creamy, awesome lacing. absurd amount of stuff in the bottom of can hahah, second pour is best done carefully!

aromas of peach, ripe nectarines, peppery hops, an almost woody pine note, grapefruit.... really interesting.

palate has a subtle tartness, big nectarines are there again, definite berry note, peppery spice, some medicinal dankness thing, herbal and floral notes. mouthfeel is pretty soft, but theres an almost abrasive hop note on the finish ... i like it tho!

overall pretty enjoyable, the apricots are there and although ive never had boysenberries i definitely get nice berry note. after trying a few bbc brews and being slightly underwhelmed, seems like these guys are stepping it up!

dont really taste the boysenberry but dont really know what that would taste like anyway. This tastes like a danky DIPA so for a single its really good. another good one from bbc
