Inspired by Belgian lambic tradition, this sour ale is fermented and aged in oak barrels with apriums. The name instantly hooks—a reference to Pink Floyd's “Careful With That Axe, Eugene”—though the modern label is equally enticing. The tart, refreshing fruity tones are upfront on the nose and mouth, expressed in waves of underripe stone fruit: aprium, of course, so plenty of plum, apricot and pluot. There's a pleasant wild funk to the nose, with hints of barnyard and lactic acid. The palate is vibrant and refreshing, with medium carbonation and a strong acidic streak that lends a mouthwatering sensation to the finish. Lauren Buzzeo

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
