Dogfish Head ApriHop

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

Not bad. You can tell that the apricot has changed the complexion of this beer, but it doesn’t really come through as geniune apricot flavor.

Pours a clear light orange with a slightly hoppy, slightly metallic and fruity smell. The taste is of mostly dried apricots, with some hoppy backbone. I thought I would like this a little more than I did, though. It just seems like it is missing something.

Shock -- it tastes like apricots! not really like fresh ones, more like the ones you get dried in a bag in that weird tropical fruit mix at the grocery store. Light and lively, that’s what I call this one.

Pours a hazy peach color from the bottle with a firm off-white head. Smells and tastes of candied apricot and agressive hops. Tires as it warms, but an interesting brew to say the least.

Bottle from Lithy, thanks! Orange brown color. Grapefruit, red berries, flowery and oily hops and especially apricot in the aroma. Hopbitter, slightly medecinal yeasty flavor with apricot. Surprisingly dry, oily a touch of malty and fruity sweetness. Plesant brew.

I had one bottle and really enjoyed every sip. Dogfish Head continues to impress. Perfect lace and long lasting flavor.

Pours a clear orange colour with a thin, off-white head that clings to the sides of the glass. The nose hits you immediately with, you guessed it, apricots, and they’re pretty authentic smelling, like those organic fruit roll-ups. There isn’t much else to the aroma, as it is very one dimensional. The flavour is also rather one-dimensional, but its full of apricot flavour as advertised. There are some citric hops. The finish is long, fruity and a bit artificial, yet they claim ’brewed with real apricots.’ The booze is very well hidden for such a light beer, but eh....nothing special.

strong sweet smell of apricot/peach. Tast was hoppy and artifically sweet. Nice head and decent color
