Draft at WOB in Carrollwood. Pours a light golden yellow with a foamy white head. Crisp, clean aroma. Dry, tart, sour flavor with a nice amount of fruitiness.

REALLy like this one! Best I can describe it is "Magic hat #9 on steroids" Big flavors all the way through, great fruit taste. Smooth brew!!
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a clear copper with a bubbly white head. A very nice nose of of citrus hops, fresh apricots and slight sweet malt. Flavor is apricot, bright citrus and floral hops with a great balance. Easy drinker and bitter finish. Overall, this a pretty nice fruit IPA like beer.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a deep, golden copper with sizeable off-white head, very attractive in the glass. Pleasant hop aromas of pine and citrus with noticeable but not over the top apricot. Hoppy but not terribly so, fruit & hops seem to keep each other in check. Smells great and is well made but lacks a a delicious factor for me, your opinion of this beer will probably hinge largely upon your feelings on apricots. Performs precisely as advertised, in other words.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On tap at "poor Richard’s wexford alehouse". Nice summer beer, tastes like 60 min with fruit sweetness.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A: Light amber brown with a big white fluffy head... good staying power.. nice lacing...
S: Citrus bitter hops... orange-grapefruit-apricots (duh)...
T: Much like the nose... the orange-grapefruit hops take the forefront and the middle is balanced out by the apricots... good grapefruit hop finish
M: Smooth transitions.. crisp refreshing finish.. medium bodied with decent carbonation
O: The apricots get to be a bit overwhelming after a second glass.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
The color is a cloudy amber with a finger foamy white head that left a slight amount of lacing left on the glass.
The smell is a little hoppy at first with some citrus aroma and a small touch of grapefruit and apricots in the aroma.
The taste of this beer is sweet but a little muted at first. A Juicy fruit flavor grows on your pallet after the first couple of tastes and it starts to take a hold. There is some citrus flavor that is a bit of a bitter as well when it hits toward the end. There a nice malt flavor holding up the whole flavor of this beer as it goes down.
The feel of this beer is a medium bodied spring seasoned beer. It has some mellow push to it and is quite inviting. It goes down smooth and is refreshing but flavorful as well.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a deep amber, with a small white head. Aroma is very sweet and fruity with hops and some mild caramel. Full bodied flavored with sweet hops, caramel, and mild apricots. finishes a little bitter with the dried fruits really coming though and lingering over a bit. Overall, well balanced, and easy to drink. It is a must every year!
