The Mix: Apricot Funky Blender
Casey Brewing & Blending and Barrel Cellar

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pours a murky light straw yellow with notes of peach. Nose is of yeast and apricots. Taste is a beautiful thing. So smooth with the perfect amount of funk and sourness, definitely not overpowering. The apricots are the star here and really come through beautifully like sweet nectar with the slightest dash of that funk. Decent yeast presence and smooth oak from the barrel. Medium to thin body with a smooth juice like mouthfeel. Enjoyed this one.

 

 

 

This one pours a lightly hazy light orange, with a small head, and lots of lacing.

This has a really intense and wild funk to it, with cheese rind, grass clippings, apricot skin, dry funk, and intense acidity.

The name on this is not a misnomer. It is intensely funky in a nearly off-putting way. It's a very slow sipper, as there's intense horse blanket, blue cheese, cheese rind, and old grass. Luckily the apricot brings some accessibility to this one, and adds a nice sweet and sour character. Don't get me wrong- this is definitely good. It's just hard to fathom.

This is light bodied and crisp, with a long-lingering acidity and bitterness on the palate.

This is one down-home dirty barn funk banger. It was quite enjoyable.
