Appearance - 4.5
Pours 2 inches of white head. It sticks around for a good while leaving spotty lacing. The beer is a clear golden-orange with plenty of carbonation bubbles present.
Aroma - 4.0
The nose consists of apricots and a nice noticeable sourness. The aroma is reminiscent of a dry champagne.
Mouthfeel - 5.0
Light in body with very active carbonation. Nice and bubbly.
Taste - 4.5
A nice apricot flavor up front. It's followed by a tartness and then a pretty mouth puckering sourness that lingers into the aftertaste.
Overall - 4.5
A very nicely down sour ale. I love apricots, and this is a nice bubbly treat. I'm sure a lot of my girl friends would love this stuff, too bad it's not cheap and easy to come by in my area.
