1st review of this beer on BA. Had it at the Eclipse party 2021.

Apricot beer pours an apricot color. Must be some fruit in there as it isn't big on clarity. 1/4" white head. The aroma hits in the apricot, dry wood and spontaneous funk notes. It doesn't have the brett thing going bringing different kinds of fruitiness, this one seems to be all apricot via fruit. Maybe citrus if you go there, but of all the stone fruits, I think apricot has the most citrus like tendencies (shoulder shrug).

The taste is another impressive barrel aged wild ale-esque beer. Straight apricot, all the accompanying acidity and sourness, both pronounced. A dry woody effect like its a lighter oak popsicle stick vibe. Plenty carbonated on draft. Its refreshing, especially during a 5 hour session of mostly barrel aged stouts. Beachwood has amazing range and makes so many very good kinds of beer across a gamut of styles.

Twas a nice change of pace. Its also listed as a lambic by the ownership site. That is some lulz stuff when you drive your own business into the ground and go from owner to employee. Lessons. But were they learned?
