Nov 21, 2009 Very nice balance between the sweetness from the malts and apricots and the bitterness of the multiple hops...didnt really get a good amount of the apricots, but this is a very drinkable beer

Nov 15, 2009 Delicous apricot flavors in another great beer from Dogfish Head. I have tried from both the bottle and the tap and both are very enjoyable.

Nov 13, 2009 When I picked this up I wasn’t expecting a Pyramid Apricot, but I was expecting something sweet, this was something unexpected. This is a good IPA but with a sour tinge. Color was a deep amber, I didn’t get much of a smell. The taste and mouthfeel is where this beer set’s itself apart. It has an overpowering sour flavor with a malty finish. The mouthfeel is a tart finish. This is a solid beer, but I couldn’t have a 4-pack back to back. A very complex beer showing DogFish’s skill at coming up with something out of the ordinary.

Nov 11, 2009 5th May 2008. A clear mid amber beer with a distinct apricot tone, only a little hoppyness. Dry finish. Refreshing.

Nov 9, 2009 Pours a brilliant amber color with a thin but dense layer of tan foam. The aroma is fruity with apricots, peaches, and caramel. The flavor is apricots and peaches with a strange hop character that doesn’t seem to complement the light fruitiness very well. It quickly denigrates to an unpleasant mineral, metallic finish. Interesting concept, but not my thing.

Nov 1, 2009 Golden, orange, light fruit aromas not fully discernible as apricot, some mineral and diatomaceous earth aromas, a bit soft on the tongue, foaming gently

Oct 21, 2009 Pours a clear amber with a subtle white head that quickly dissipates. The apricot aroma is not as pronounces as I expected. Its rather subtle with a light hoppiness and some caramel. Taste is sweet and tart. Again, the apricot is not as strong as I expected. It does come through a bit more on the finish. Also has hints of apple and some sweet malts. Very crisp on the front. Medium/light mouthfeel and not much carbonation. Not bad, but nothing special.

Oct 14, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Pacific Liquor in North Park ($3.99). Pours a murky dark amber-orange with rather small off-white head. Mellow aroma of citrusy hops and grass/vegetables with some apricot but not as much as I might have thought. The apricots are much more noticeable in the flavor, though. The apricots combine with the hops to make an IPA that lacks a citrus/hoppy "bite" and is surprisingly smooth. Good carbonation with a nice tangy finish. This is refreshing and damn near sessionable.
good carbonation
