Apricot Sour
Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery

Thanks to leftpaw for bringing this out for Thanksgiving 2019. Drank this after the face melting Slayer show.

Pours a brighter yellow color with a little bit of orange from the apricot input and red wine barrel, 1/3" white head. The aroma had a grassy, fuzzy apricot note, red wine, mild funk, mild sour note to it.

Taste reveals a wild ale that is more gentle than average, both acidity and sourness clocking in slightly below average. Bigger alcohol push than most wild ales. Elements of grassy apple white grape funk to it. Lacto sour notes aren't overpowering, the 3 months or so of apricot exposure in the barrel lends itself to a good deft mouth feel, carbonation dialed in and appropriate. The wine barrel input gives off both red and white wine notes, so I'm thinking this is a red wine barrel in french oak.

I enjoyed the beer, but its one of those $1/per oz beers right on the cusp of being a one and done or a repeat purchase. I'd certainly try their other beers at least once before I return to this I think.
