Amber with thin white head. Aroma of apricots mixed with citrus hops. Flavor is of light apricots and hops. So-so.

Not a fruity aroma. A balance of hops in the aroma. A nice flavor of hops witha great finish. Not bitter and not real fruity. Pretty tasty.

Draft at Flying Saucer. Nice orange/brown color with a thin head. Big fruity nose. Obviously a lot of fruit tastes make up most of the character, and I was actually surprised to learn it’s make from a "strong IPA" as I didn’t pick up a significant hoppy bitterness. More so than many fruit beers, but certainly nothing like in the 60 Minute. For a style I’m generally not too fond of, this one is good and would make a nice change of pace beer, though I doubt I’d ever have more than 1 at a time. The wife likes it, which is always a plus, too.

Pretty good, I was hoping for more of an IPA though. Kind of somkey flavor to it. Not an IPA flavor at all. Very little apricot is present, if they didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t know it was there. No alcohol presence. Surprisingly light bodied.
