4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20Tap at Blue Palms for LA Beer Week. This beer is legit. Nose of powdery cherries, mold, wheat, slight funk. Color is that great powder violet of Count Chocula berries. Flavor is full of fruit, lavender, just hinting at sourness but never quite diving in. Finish is dry and rather long. Really enjoyable. These people deserve more attention for their sours.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at World of Beer, Raleigh. Very bright golden-orange pour, with a thin silky carbonation. Honey and yeast in the nose, but then nice pert apricot emerges. Body not too slick or heavy, thankfully, and the flavors are pleasant as the fruit melds nicely with honey, tart notes here and there, and a mildly bitter finish.

Pours golden orange with a small white head. Nose is apricot, peaches, hay, ginger, honey. Taste is sweet and a good balance of tart/bitter. The mouthfeel is crisp and clean, medium body and a long finish.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Tap. Pours a deep, clear golden with very little head. Aroma is honey, bees wax and some slight stone fruit. Taste is more deep, rich honey and only slightly apricot centric. The taste is more cough syrup based on the honey and the overall sweetness and heat from the apricot. I’d consider this more of a mead mouth feel and approach than a true fruit beer. Overall, not that pleasant though others seemed to love it.

Draught. Pours a clear amber color with a small head. Nose has some slight notes of the apricot, but isn’t too strong. Very much apricot in the taste, though you can get just a hint of the sweetness from the honey underneath.

Taken from my BA account, r 2/29/12
Live tasting, 4 oz. taster on tap at Ballast Point...
Appearance; pours a beautiful clear golden honey color, minimal head falls quickly...
Smell; apricots, honey and a slight bready, yeasty aroma.
Taste; jumps out at you with honey, hints of apricot sneak in but never becomes overbearing... Not a hint of the 10.5% ABV in the flavor profile... Amazing..
Mouthfeel; lively in the mouth, good carbonation with a slightly velvety mouthfeel... Fantastic and easy drinkin, firmly light bodied...
Overall; get some of this. Amazing.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Was listed as 12%. Pours to a glowing golden body with a crisp white head. Aroma is light apricots. Flavor is more significantly apricots and some light floral hops. Moderate sweetness. Medium body, and surprisingly not syrupy. Doesn’t taste like 12% at all. Very dangerous brew for that reason.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Small sample, aroma very medicinal alcoholic... Grape notes, cough medicine... Clear golden...
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at Whole Foods. Pours orange with smallish white head. Aromas of apricots, honey, earth, white grapes. Moderately sour and sweet. Smooth, moderate body, though a tiny bit of alcohol burn. Kind of like a citrusy chardonnay.

med amber color. Massively sweet, malty, honey and Apricot mouth, but
Waaaaaayyy too cloying an too sweet but not poorly made, but not for me at all.
