4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bottle #972 of 1174. To start off I have to say I think the base beer for this (their Polycot) is a mediocre at best apricot wheat....this is something else entirely. Huge apricot and white wine nose with some lemon juice. Slightly cloudy deep (apricot) orange. Good carbonation. Apricot, vinious white wine, bread, distinct peach, and a nice tart zippy finish. Delicious...liked it more than Cascade’s...this is fuller bodied and both fruitier and more tart. Wanted to be drinking this with a nice cream-based pasta dish.

Pours clear yellow with a nice head, aroma is apricot sour some tangerine obviously acetic. Taste is nose but as it warms it becomes much smoother and fruitier. palate is nice and thin. A really nice sour quite refreshing.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle (The cork shot off like a rocket, so be careful with this baby)… This beer rocks!… Cloudy yellow ale with golden highlights and no head. The bouquet showcases heaps of fruity apricot and a generous measure of acidic, oaken funk. Medium to full-bodied with airy, champagne-like carbonation. The fruity flavor is a blend of juicy-ripe apricot, lightly sour acidity and subtle, bready bitterness. Tart, fruity, tangy finish. Thanks goes out to JoeTheYounger for shipping this world class beer my way!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle pour at Hangar 24. Pours with a hazed yellow hued body with a medium sized white head. Strongly fruity and appricot dominated aroma, light oak, some funky brett notes, light oak. Flavors are a touch herbal, fresh apricot. Oddly a bit spicy, lively carbonation, fruity, dry with some tannins in the finish.

(rating 3300) Bottle... Poured hazy, golden/yellow with a mild white head. Awesome perfume, fruity nose with apricots and other light fruits. Tasted of funky brett with tart fruits. Only middy acidic as the brett funk shined here with also notes of oak to add even more dimension. This was an awesome beer.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
750ml bottle courtesy of Hophead84. Thanks!A: Copper-orange with a head that fades out very quickly, leaving a bald beer.N: Apricot, lemon, and some green apple. Very heavy vinegar and acetone. Lactic acid. Not great.T: Apricot and vinegar are the dominate sensations. Acetone. Simple lactic sourness. Sweet-tart split. Some raspberry from the vinegar, perhaps. Not too complex, but enjoyable enough.M: Fairly light, so in a good range for a sour. Alcohol isn?t noticeable.O: A nice attempt and better than say, the new Cascade Apricot. Look forward to more from Barrel Roll.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a somewhat hazy golden color with a very short lived white head. Nice apricot and fruitiness on the aroma. There is an interesting cider-like quality to it, too. A hint of metal, lactic sourness, a malt sweetness, and a touch of unfermented grain. Taste is nicely sour with nice apricot flavor. A bit of fruit sweetness, mild malt, and just a touch of wood and funk. Mild grass flavor and a dry finish. A slight cider character on the palate as well.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
1st rating. From bottle shared by mspindler. Hazy golden yellow pour with a big fizzy white head that dissipates in a few seconds. Lots of apricot and funk in the aroma. Taste is sour upfront on the tongue with a sweet apricot dry finish. This is very well balanced for a sour. Glad I bought my full allotment today at the release.
