The Finer Points of Bad Behavior is an ever evolving series of beers that pairs seasonal ingredients with unique strains of yeast specifically chosen to compliment, contrast, and elevate each other.
Volume IX features freshly picked apricots with a strain of Brettanomyces Bruxellensis that is known for the white wine and SweeTarts aromas it creates. This combination yields aromas of fleshy apricots, Fruit Loops, honeysuckle, wet hay, and lime Sprees. The flavor and body are reminiscent of Pinot Gris with a pleasant acidity and a touch of minerality on the finish.

Pours a cloudy, opaque light yellow-brown color. Thin sudsy, white head forms on the beer and shows excellent head retention for what is there. Aroma has notes of apricots, peaches, white wine, with a subtle sweetness and a more prominent tartness coming through on the nose.
Taste follows the nose with notes of peach, apricot, white wine, tart citrus, and lemon and lime notes. Its tart and a bit funky from the brett, but not too funky just yet. There is a base layer of crackery, grainy malt underlying the fruitiness. Tart, semi-dry finish. Feel is medium bodied, with the tartness making the beer feel a bit more hefty than it actually is. Tartness produces a light pucker. Light carbonation.
Overall it is a really tasty beer. The fruit and the brett work really well together. I enjoyed this one quite a bit.
