Apricrunk

Tap to rate

Spontaneous fermentation with Atlanta's own air puts layered funk behind fresh, juicy apricots that burst forward with bright tartness and a lush, jammy depth. Nuanced acidity and soft oak complexity follow, ending in a rounded finish. Barrel-fermented, aged and blended for balance, this 6.0% wild ale lets native microflora do the talking.

Entry is juicy and tart, with apricot flavor blooming across the palate before bright acidity and a pronounced sourness take hold. The mid-palate reveals a jammy, lush depth—stone fruit and subtle yeast character—balanced by nuanced oak tannins that add structure without harshness. The finish is rounded and dry, with lingering tartness and a faint funky dryness.
