Dogfish Head ApriHop

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

Poured hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma of lemon and apricots. Some apricot flavor with a pine and citrus bitterness. Not bad.

Bottle shared with Steve. Definitely not what I was expecting. I thought there would be more of apricot and hop flavors than there was. Overall not bad kinda tart.

I love everything DOGFISH. everything besides this. Not impressed. No real apricots taste no real hoppy flavor. Kinda boring. wanted to move on to my next selection after the first sip.

Pours bright amber with finger thick cream colored head. Sweet bread and apricot nose and flavor with a fresh bread influence standing out in the finish. Quite easy drinking.

I’m not really a big fan of this one. It has strong scent of malts with very little hops. I can hardly pick up the apricots. Tastes of bitter hops and malts. Has a very little hint of fruit but nothing at all to be considered a fruit beer. Aftertaste leaves an unpleasant bitterness having me wonder why Dogfish Head would put such a product out there.

i was really excited to try this and...it was really, really disappointing. the aroma was promising, fruity and sweet, but from the moment it hit my lips and taste buds, i wished i could have taken it all back. the taste was of rotten fruit, with sour notes and hardly any lingering sweetness. hops were almost nonexistent. maybe i got a bad bottle? i plan to revisit this at some point, simply because i can’t believe this is the way dh intended this beer to be.

Dark orange color with minimal head. Carmel malt, some hops, some apricot, some B.O. in the aroma. Flavor flavor is clean with light apricot and hops with a rush of stronger apricot and tartness. It’s refreshing. Tastes like spring, thats for sure.
