Dogfish Head ApriHop

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Milton, Delaware USA

Bottle. Fruity aroma. Copper body, thick off-white head. I didn’t expect the apricot flavor to be nearly so apparent. To me, it’s so strong as to be off-putting. Certainly interferes with the anticipation of an IPA.

A 12 oz bottle. the beer poured a amber body with a fizzy small cream head. the smell is bitter hops. The apricots tone down the hops and add a smoothness the make this easy to drink. good carbonation.

Bottle at Church Key, North Beach, San Francisco, with Phyllis, 26th Mar 09. Clear dark amber. The one beer on my trip that I simply did not get along with. Smells of wet dog and old laundry with a bit of apricot air freshener sprayed on top. Sickly, sourish taste. Really not up my street.

Poured clear amber, green apricot, hoppy, little caramel, little malts, slighty bready.

malty apricot aroma...bronze in color, very little head...Nice strong, fruity IPA... a bit tart... much more sour then other apricots i’ve had... very well done

On tap at Ginger Man. It was "meh" for Dogfish Head. Lots of hops still present, a good fruity nose, but a little too sour and fruity for my tastes in an IPA..

i really liked this one as it was way different then i expected it to be. pours a light amber with mild white head. aroma of citrus, hops, and apricots. smells tart and hoppy. drinks with a tart bite upfront that fades to smooth hops. finishes tart leaving apricot on your tongue. great beer in my opinion.

(bottle). Pours a golden/red color. Medium size head with moderate lacing. Has a hoppy aroma with light fruit. Taste is initially sour and fruity. Smooth finish with sour and hoppy tastes. Soft carbonation.
