Apricot Sour (Seasonal Sour)
Steamworks Brewing Co.

Had on tap at the brewery

On arrival under half a finger of white head sat on top of a hazy golden yellow beer.

Aroma is exactly like dried apricots with the sweetness and everything. Slight fermentation but the apricot dominates.

Taste is less sour than expected for a kettle sour. There's a vague tartness, but not anymore than fruit juice. A slightly watered down dry apricot flavor is again present before a fade into a light grainy flavor.

Feel is chuggable and dry. Certainly light, but not much more going on here than a fruited extra dry lager. Verging on flavored malt beverage.

Overall I want either more sour or more beer. This is obviously very fruity, but it isn't very sour. Since, in my mind at least, sour beers are in a category of their own, I either want it to be more grainy and beer-y, or more sour and pucker-y.
