Cask conditioned at The White Horse at Banbury Cross, Banbury. Hazy Gold with white head. Strong fruity aroma leading to a sweet passion fruit, apricot flavour which dominates the beer, over bearing for me, not great.

On tap @ Cloisters. Pours golden orange with a decent head. Nose of vegetables and citrus. Taste similar. The palate is medium throughout and there’s a clean finish. Overall, yeah I’m glad I had it.

Cask at Cloisters. Pale yellow amber, medium white head. Nose is sweet, fresh apricot and little else. Sweet and juicy, with a drying earthy finish. Surprisingly tasty, but would benefit from more carbonation.

Bottle. Copper coloured beer with a light head. The aroma is very clearly apricot and yeasty, and the flavour is mildly bitter, yeasty and apricot sweet. Overall a very nice fruit beer.

Cask (gravity dispense) at Kingston Beer Festival on 13 May 2011. Pale gold colour. Slight haze. Good condition. Strange aroma - fruity but with musky cosmetic notes. Sweetish and fruity on the palate. The musky, cosmetic notes persist though. Some odd flowery notes too - maybe Parma violets. Didn’t realize this was actually made with apricot but I guess it figures. Perhaps a little synthetic. Not really to my taste and certainly not one of the more appealing Dervetio beers I’ve tried, to me at least.
