How many sweet tarts does it take to make a cascade beer? I don’t know but it must take a lot. That’s exactly what it tastes like. Absolutely delicious!

Poured from a 750ml bottle. Apricot, stone fruit, fleshy fruit, bright acidity. This is a tasty beer.

This one poured a bright light orange color with a white head. Aroma was of loads of apricot, fresh lemons, and very light funk. Taste was very very tart, even more than I was expecting. Very clean though, basically just tasing like sour apricot juice, but man is this one mouth puckering.

Bottle city swiggers. Pour is golden hazy orange.. Scents of apricot, white wine, oak, oak.. Taste is vinegar, tart, apricot, grapes, funk, lemon acid. High carbonation and super sour finish.. almost bitter and dry. Overall a nice bite and good drink.

..just like a fresh apricot with a sour finish. Haven’t been a big fan of sour beers, but now I’m a believer! Sip this puppy for fun and profit...

Another gift from Drew- big thanks! Really excited about this one. The nose sure delivered- huge apricot, sweet citrus, slight sourness. I’d live in this aroma if I could! Flavor disappointed a bit. Didn’t get as much apricot as in the nose- just more slight fruit sweetness, funk & vinegar. Good overall.

750 ml bottle shared by a local beer guy- thanks again, Mark! 2011 Project. Pours a cloudy orange-gold with a medium eggshell white head. Aroma of apricot, lemon, oak, sweet malts, grapes, and bretty funk. Flavor is the same- apricot, lemon, grape, funk, oak. Some sugars. Sour and juicy, with moderate carbonation. The consensus was that it wasn’t quite FouFoune but still damn good. I loved it.

Wow, the sweetness from the apricot perfectly balances an offsets the tart of the sourness

2011 Project. Clear golden pour with a nice soapy white head. Tart apricots, oak, Brett funk and lactic acid in the nose. Much better flavor than the nose would present, sour apricots and tangerines, residual sugars, yeast funk, lemon peels with a tart and dry finish. Good effervescence with notes of alcohol. Not bad but no Fou Foune.
