Bottle shared @ Dangerous Bottleshare 10th Anniversary. Thanks to Daawi for bringing this! Pours hazy orange with a quickly diminishing white head. Aromas of apricots, oak, vanilla, floral notes, dessert wine, lactic sourness, candied apricots. Taste is very "jammy", lots of lactic tartness, oaky notes, juice, sparkly notes. This beer did NOT disappoint.

Bottle @ ZZT 2016-1. Aroma is like an apricot smoothie, nice. Refreshing taste of fresh apricots, strong sourness, lactic tart, oak and fruit zest. Like a nice smoothie berliner.

Bottle @ ZZT 2016-1, small sample. Thanks all for sharing! Cloudy amber color, short frothy head. Aroma of big apricot, apricot skin, latex gloves. Medium sour in taste, apricot. Bit off-balance and not my favorite fruit.

Apricot & Peach Imperial Bu versions sampled. Thanks to MarcoDL for the Peach version. Both 750 ml. bottles sampled @ ZZT 2016-1.Apricot: Very hazy orange, fizzing away white head. Nose is big aspirin sourness, sour medicine, basic lactic & vinegar sourness, some fruity apricot in the back. Taste is aspirin sour upfront, puckering, vinegar, basic lactic sour, lots of aspirin,… Sour, vinegar. There is fruity apricot in the back. Very simple, overly heavy on vinegar & aspirin sourness. Okay but I have had definitely better from De Garde. 3.7/5 Peach: Quite similar. Super milky orange with no head. Smell is once again massive sour puckering aspirin, overly lactic, low vinegar, fruit is barely present here. Taste is also very sour puckering vinegar, aspirin, lemon juice, basic lactic,… Puckering & low carbonation. Fruit is less present here & barely there. This one was a bit lesser for me. 3.6/5 Overall both strongly failed my expectations.

Sampled from bottle @ ZZT 2016-1. Hazy yellow color, average sized white head. Aroma is sour, apricot, unripe fruits. Taste is incredibly sour, sour unripe fruits, apricot in the background. Suitable body and carbonation. Nice, but too sour for me.

Bottle received in trade. Thank you troganmi. Pours very hazy apricot deep yellow with a small frothy and fizzy white head that quickly dissipates without leaving much trace on the glass. Smell is fruity with crackers, lemon juice, apricot puree, yoghurt, minerals, lemon zest and hints of rubber. Taste is sour and heavy fruity. Mouthfeel is dry, tart mouth-puckering and light to medium bodied. Finish is heavy sour with bundles upon bundles of apricot puree. Love the apricot character but this is a bit too sour in my opinion.

Amazing apricot aroma, with lambic funkiness and tart. Light bodied with little carbonation, but still quite refreshing. The aroma, though - out of this world.

Bottle shared. Pours cloudy apricot juice orange with a very short lived off white head. Aroma of big tart apricot with salty peach, oak notes, a soft funk and light leathery aspects. Flavour is moderate sour and heavy salty. Light medium bodied with light carbonation.
