brokensail (18691) - Bay Area, California, USA - AUG 9, 2021UPDATED: AUG 9, 2021 RBSG 2017. Cloudy golden-orange pour with a small white head. Pretty funk beer. Apple, brandy, and grape start things off. There's a bit of a sweetness of caramel and vanilla to it as well. Sweet and sour apricot, plenty of oak, and a lot of sour citrus fruits (lemon and grapefruit).
baraciisch (4919) - California, USA - JUL 27, 2018Cloudy peach orange in color... Thin whitish head... Aroma of Calvados barrel, apricots, funk... Flavor is soft, creamy almost, unlike most sours I’ve had... Maybe a bit thin on the body, but pleasant, light funk, barrel presence on palate... Acidity is very mild, juicy apricots linger on finish... Really nice variant of AL
