On tap at the brewpub. Pours a cloudy orange with a thin white head. Has a strong apricot aroma. The flavor is full of incredible great fruits. Apples, raisins, and apricots. But there is no sweetness here at all. This apricot beer seems to be closer to a homebrew than something like Pyramid apricot.

Cloudy peach color. Subtle apricot nose, with delightful hops that stop short of overbearing. Excellent balance. Honey sweetness. Delicious.

What a fruit beer! Smells like an apricot and sparkles on the tongue, finishes with a hop kiss goodnight.
