My tenth brain in the series that I have rated. The slushy xl was a letdown; moreover, it had too much fruit in the beer. I am getting burned out on fruited sours; they are waning for me.
I am using the correct glass for this style. A frothy and fruity two-fingered head was created from the pour. Bits of fruit lacing on the clings to the glass. The color is medium orange and hazy. The appearance is excellent for this style.
The primary aromas in the beer are apricots, lemons, and vanilla. Nosing the glass further, I detect a touch of floral, breadiness, and lightly toasted malts. Lots of sour lemons and fruity sweetness exist on the nose.
The apricots temper the acidic lemon. This is a beautiful combination of fruit. Other flavors in the beer are vanilla, floral, and light toasted malts.
The mouthfeel is creamy and finishes smooth with a touch of acidity. The body is medium-full and has low carbonation.
This is one of my favorites in the series, next to POG and the peach one. This is tasty stuff.

 

Drekker Lemon/Apricot BRAAAAAAAAins Double Fruit Smoothie Sour, 7.1% ABV. Pours thick and opaque medium orange, with a 2.4 finger light-orange head that left puree residue. Nose is lemon, apricot, and vanilla. Taste follows with lemon bright up front, slightly sweet slightly tart, and salt on the close. Nice thick and creamy mouthfeel with jaunty carbonation. Overall very excellent to outstanding adjacent. They did a good job limiting the lemon so it didn't totally bury the apricot. I agree with @gatornation that the head is creamsicle colored, that's the first thing that came to mind.
