Good farmhouse ale with light apricot flavor and not overly sweet. Definitely get to enjoy a beautiful day.

On tap at brewery:
Ok, first off, the style listed is "Farmhouse Lager" - and apricots are added. So I guessed at the closest style I could think of.
Pours a translucent dark golden - actually looks a little peachy with the haze and light pinkish hue. Head end at the rim, medium thick.
Nose is nice, sweet grain comes along with a apricot/peach fruity note. Being used to ales, and looking at this hybrid, it seems a little sweet, but fit a lager it's probably fine.
Taste is bready sweet, but there is a balancing note that I can easily view as the "farmhouse" flavor. Fruit notes are light and generally overpowered by the lager and woody/stale funky notes.
Expected something cleaner/crisper or more fruity. Wondered how "farmhouse" would fit in, and to me, it basically doesn't. Nice try at being different, but maybe too ambitious.
