Bottle (2012)

Churchill's Pub & Grille
San Marcos, CA

Clouded dark orange in color with a moderately-sized near white head. Leaves the glass messy with irregular lines of foamy stick.

Very fruit forward aroma: huge amounts of sun-dried apricots leading the charge, with only a minimal presence of acid and funk. Wonderful aroma for an apricot lover.

The flavor follows the aroma, but with a bit more complexity. Incredibly expressive flavor of rich, juicy, sun-dried apricots, a whisper of an earthy funk character, and some mild acidic sour character. While simple and straightforward, this remains a very delicious beer.

Medium bodied with moderate-high carbonation.

Another Barrel Roll series hit!

Thanks to Tieman for sharing this one at his tasting.

Bottle # 273/1174.

Pours a murky light orange with a foamy bone colored head that settles to wisps of film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace slowly drip into the remaining beer on the drink down. There are some small chunks of sediment seen floating in the beer after the pour. Smell is of honey, apricots, and peaches. Taste is much the same with a mildly acidic finish. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer but I think it smells better than it tastes.

OK, first, it's amusing that I'm the one adding this to the BA system.

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, but it's passable as the beer warms.

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 decent overall attempt and better than say, the new Cascade Apricot batches. Look forward to more from Barrel Roll.
