What Our Editors Thought

“Soft fruit expression in the nose, dried apricot, some orange wine. Flavor is surprising—not tart, more beery, off-dry, slight bitterness. Like a strong blonde with some dried apricots in it.”

What Our Panel Thought

“Apricot skin on the nose, with a dry white-wine note. Spice hints hit a gin chord. Woody tannins and bright apricot flavors dominate the flavor. The saison adds an earthy note.”

What the Brewers Say

“Fresh, floral, lightly fruity, and complex with stone-fruit and floral aromatics and a layer of ripe apricot.”
