Canned@Zinc Craftbar, Vaasa. Hazy orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is apricot, guava, some tartness and mild sour wooden tones too. Flavour is fruity, nectary, some wooden tones. OK, but a bit on the sweet side of things.

Pours hazed orangeblonde. Small white head. Scent is intense, fruitpulp, heavy, summery. Taste is full, very creamy, again a pinch of salt, intense fruitpulp. Milder sourness. Fullbodied, medium low carbo. Bit less 'bright' than other arpus sours.

23/IX/21 - on tap @ Arpus TTO, Bar Beenhouwer, BB: n/a (2021-1112) Thanks to ElManana+1 for sharing today’s beer!
Very cloudy orange beer, small creamy off-white head, pretty stable, non adhesive. Aroma: oh my, very nice, super fruit, lots of peaches and apricots coming through, some tannins maybe, tropical fruits, juicy, lovely! MF: ok carbon, medium to full body. Taste: oh boy, super fruity, bitter, lots of apricots, so juicy, some slightly bitter tannins, very nice, lovely stuff going on here! Aftertaste: gentle acidity, sweet lactose (I presume), fruity, some tannins, very nice one!
