    I've been through like 7 bottles so far with zero issues. I am not a believer there are any issues.

    I was also told at the Breury there was probably no chance of a second allocation, but one can dream.

    i dunno, a chunky beer sounds pretty "bad" to me.

    my bottle didn't look like it had any puree in it, but i hope that vision is correct when i open it.

    I blew it. Last batch didn't blow me away, so I went light and ordered one hoping to taste it and try more later. I wish I had ordered many more, having had it now.

    Here is a bottle with lots of puree in it, two of mine look like this, one is not chunky.

    Wow, that looks crazy. I have a case left and none of them look like that. Does it affect the taste?

    Exactly what 1 of mine looks like. I'm a sour novice, any other sours have this much thickness to them?

    Filmishmish is drinking awesome, I've been ordering every visit to the tasting room. Haven't touched the bottle yet though.

    I'll admit that bottle looks different than 20 bottles I have had in my possession. Which is why I wasn't a believer, but I guess the proof is in the Filmishmish pudding.

    Hi All--

    Sorry for the issues of excess sediment in Filmishmish. As you can imagine, we used a LOT of apricot in this beer and without filtration, a lot of fruit made it's way into some bottles. Most of these bottles came from the beginning and end of the bottling run, and most of these bottles were caught during packaging and were not sent out. A few made it through during the first few days of pickup, and now our Society staff inspects every bottle for excess sediment before releasing it to a member.

    If you've had an issue with a bottle, or have an unopened bottle with excess sediment (more than 1/2 inch-- there's going to be some fruit content in every bottle), contact our Society team at [email protected] and we'll make it right.

    Glad to hear most are enjoying the beer-- I'm loving it myself!

    Cheers,
    Patrick

    Based on the bottle of the 2014 vintage I've had, then only thing I'm mad about is it seems there will be no additional bottles up for sale :wink:

    the bottle I had was fine, no massive amounts of slush.
    I have to say though comparing it to the cascade apricot they both were really good. Now if only cascade would bottle the supercot!

    Make sure you stretch your card properly in order to avoid cramping when you abuse it with the allotments this month.

    My card wont even get hit for this months allocations, I plan on living off of my infected bottle refunds for another month or so.
