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

12 oz bottle served without a glass. Sniffing the bottle revealed a sweet syrupy apricot smell along with a touch of c-hops. Fresh apricot taste that blends with the sweet caramely backbone and light hoppyness, a bit too sweet. It was good but I tired of drinking it 2/3 of the way through the bottle.

Pours an amber with a nice foamy head. Smells a bit like a vomity lager though. Sweet, sweet, sweet apricot in flavor that is not at all appeasing. Just sweet all around here. Nice full body though, but the sweetness was just too much for me.

Good tasting beer. Very drinkable- fruit beer - what can I say. Not as fruity as I thought it would be (and that is a plus) -It hid the higher ABV very well - reminds me of a Gewurztraminer wine.

Draught @ WABF 2008. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Has a fruity apricot aroma with some hoppy hints. Fruity and slightly tart crisp apricot flavor with some hoppy hints. Has a fruity finish with hints of apricots.
