What began as a blend of foeder aged saisons was refermented upon Blenheim apricots from B&R Farms, laid to rest for a year of maturation, then blended upon Riesling grapes from the Zabala Vineyard in Arroyo Seco. After an extended maceration on the skins for 4 months, the beer brims with notes of floral apricot, candied orange peel, and lime zest clasped with a crisp, dry minerality.

Sweet and vinous white wine, hint of floral apricot, farmhouse funky, and hint of oak nose on this one! Taste follows with some spritzy white wine vibes, hint of apricot, and a dry, oak tannin finish. As it warms, this oakiness becomes more prominent and a bit distracting. Overall this is decent and is very similar to wine...especially clocking in at 11.4% ABV! It is obvious that this needs some aging to round out some of the sharp edges.
