A: Poured into a Duvel tulip to a light gold that's barely more orange than yellow. The beer is topped by a dense and slightly rocky finger and a half of white head which fades slowly to a collar around the edge of the glass with minimal lacing.
S: Smells of apricots, wood, sourness, and some light funk.
T: Taste is tart up front with a nice amount of sweet apricot coming in to balance. Hints of pale malt and creamy wheat along with a touch of oak and funk. On the swallow there's more sweet apricots and sourness with sweet apricots lingering the longest in the finish
M: This beer is fairly light in body but it isn't watery. Carbonation is effervescent but not prickly while the beer has a drying finish from the acidity.
O: Overall this is a really nice beer. The fruit flavors are great and the base beer has some nice notes going on as well. It isn't overly sour and everything plays together well. It may drink a little simplistic but that's what they were going for. It still has a little subtlety and complexity going on though. Well worth a try if they make this again.

Pours a hazy, vibrant dark straw color with a finger of white head that leaves a nice crown.
Big sour, tart aroma with a light hard-to-place fruitiness and definite oak.
Extremely tart up front, close to be acerbic, with a burst of apricot juice on the backend, more oak, and a nice lingering sweet-tart flavor.
Maybe slightly more body than I'm used to in the style, but still soft and wheat-like, with appropriately strong carbonation lending a light fizziness.
Bigger flavors than many Berliner Weiss, but delicious nonetheless. The juicy taste is delicious and exactly what you'd expect from this series.
