The base beer for Apricot Stonington was brewed with 100% Valley Malt and fermented by our native New England mixed culture which was collected from grape skins at Saltwater Farm Vineyard in Stonington, CT where JC & Esther Tetreault were married. This New England Saison is aged in French oak Chardonnay casks for sixteen months to layer in a bright vinous character before being blended back into stainless to carry out a secondary fermentation on apricots for three months.

Pouring a lightly hazy orange yellow, Apricot Stonington has a stone fruit intensive nose with undertones of white grape, light toasted oak, and a mild earthy funk. Bold profiles of apricot nectar and overripe yellow peach are balanced against a crisp, biscuity malt backbone and a touch of oak spice on the palate. Finishes semisweet with a pleasant acidity and light mouthfeel.

Bottled 28/june/18. Slightly cloudy light copper, some floaters, white edge. Smell is sour, apricot, sweetness, wood. Fairly high carbed, decent body. Taste is sour, bit of a pucker, medium sweet. Plenty of apricot, juicy and ripe. Just a tad too sour.

On tap at Ratebeer Best. Pours a hazy orange with small white head that diminishes quickly. The aroma is strong stone fruit, oak, funk, dough. Medium body, funky, yeast, lacto, stone fruit, oak, light acidity, really enjoyed this.
