Smell is very faint stone fruit and minerals. Taste is light apricot and super bready with some macro lager taste as well. Medium body, high carbonation, and foamy.
Bottle, 650ml. Murky golden, foamy white head. Fruity, zesty aromas, not really sour. Medium bodied, fizzy carbonation. Medium sweet, medium sour. Mildly sour finsh.
Bottle from Mikkeller & Friends, Copenhagen. Pours a slightly hazy deep golden-orange body with a large frothy white head. Nose is mild apricot, pale malts, straw and hints of cereals, lactic acid and minerals. Taste is pale malts, straw, mild yoghurt-like sour notes and hints of apricot, minerals and red fruits. Light body, high carbonation. A bit lacking in direction and profile; I wish for more apricot and a bit more gose-like sourness. Still, drinkable enough as a session beer. OK.
Draft on tap at Rosamunde (Oakland, CA). Glad to find this on tap. Pours a hazy orange apricot fiery tinged golden hue. Good haziness, frothy whitish head quickly dissipates to a ringer and laces solid. Some bubbly effervescence somewhat covered up by the hazy body. Aromas show tart lactic life, fleshy and sour apricot, lactic tang and a salty pop. Flaked wheat, yogurt, citrusy lemony and mellow bready malts. Initial is lighter bodied, fuzzy and tart. Dry straw, bready malts on par with some apricot fruity appeal, citric pump, good sour and refreshing appeal without being harsh. A fruity apricot fleshy nectar supports behind a firmer lactic, citric tang and a salty mineral appeal as we start to trail out. Light and summery, the salty aspect compliments well. A good nose, good apricot flavor without overwhelming nor a punchy or too potent lactic acidic bite. Light, fuzzy, sour and refreshing. Tasty stuff. Think I liked Cherry just a touch more as it added a bit of depth and contrast.

A sour beer, with a light malt vinegary taste. Not too harsh, but enough to wake you up from that late evening stupor... Could perhaps be enhances with a little sweetness to counter the vinegar on the palette
Cloudy golden. Aroma is tart vinegar, stonefruit. Flavour is tart, some apricot, peach. Good stuff.

Thanks to Sesh for this brew! Dégustée en compagnie de Marc-André. Comment décrire une bière sans intérêt? Bah, en disant simplement qu’elle n’a rien d’intéressant. En effet, cette bière n’a rien. Blonde, moyennement mousseuse, plutôt limpide. Un air sans air et sans caractère. Arômes de quelque-chose d’un peu sauvage sans qu’on puise vraiment dire ce que c’est. Petites levures frêles et maigrelettes s’affolant pour un rien. Un bois me paraît évident mais c’est bien tout. L’abricot est absent, tout comme le funk souhaité. Un goût aucunement fruité, presque pas salin, limpide, sans caractère ni orientation. Une bière sans intention.
Bottled on August 12, 2016. From Systembolaget.
Cloudy yellow color, white head. Fruity, acidic, apricots scent. Fruity, apricots, raspberry, wheat dough taste. Wheat dough, acidic, fruity aftertaste. Medium mouthfeel, very low to no bitterness.
Lacks the expected/anticipated salt level, and the wheat dough character ruins part of the overall experience for me.
Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av humle, citrus, aprikos, bröd med toner av äpple. Lätt kropp, lagom sötma, viss sälta och syrlighet med ton av jord. En aning juiceaktig, fin beska. Saknar lite karaktär.
BWB expo. Large fruity nose with a hint of wheat. Intense flavour which is semi sour with a solid fruit body.
650 ml bottle from Systembolaget. Hazy yellow golden with white head. Fruity, sour, lactic with apricot and light salty finish. Dry, low to medium sour with medium to high carbonation. Decent.
