3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at the Brewpub in mid-August 2009.
A: Fairly hazy and peach colored. A pretty good bone-white head.
S: Peaches and apricot scents with a bit of sweetness as well--perhaps honey.
T: Much like the nose. A little bit sweet but not too much so. There is mild artificial taste to the fruitiness, but overall is pretty well done. Some hops linger in the finish.
M: Pretty light-bodied with a good amount of carbonation and low alcohol character.
D: Fairly drinkable for a fruit beer, but still not something I’d like to have more than one of.
Serving type: on-tap

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draught. Pours cloudy yellow with a medium white frothy head. Wheat malt and honey, peach and apricot aroma. Wheat and honey fruity (apricot) flavor. Medium bodied and fizzy palate.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy peach colored body. Very fresh, tasty apricot aroma and flavor like homemade apricot preserves. Medium candied apricot sweetness and some firm hop bitterness that rounds this out very nicely. This is easily my all-time favorite apricot ale and one of the best fruit beers I've ever had. Freaking delicious.
