random thought: putting some double IPA into a hummingbird feeder = buzz bombs. Hmmmmmmm.

well, isn't that interesting..... I cracked open the apricot saison after one week in the bottle...a little flat as expected, but tastes nothing like apricots. yeasts are amazing. only the slightest hint of flavoring.
