Maplewood Brewing Company Softcore Mutation: Foeder Apricots
What the brewers say
“Vivid notes of stone fruit and tart hints of lemon curd and apricot jam.
What our panel thought
“Soothing peach-apricot aromas with underlying lactic acid and slight phenolic profile. Stone-fruit flavors shine as the star of the show, with a soft and slightly understated malt background providing support. Tart and tight finish.”
What our editors thought
“Perfumey apricot in the nose, soft and pillowy, with faint green notes behind the voluminous fruit. A quick burst of apricot and acidity leads the sip, but fades fast into dry fruit flesh finish. Simple and unclutted in apricot focus.”
