Dogfish Head ApriHop

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

IPA tasting Three Cellars, Milwaukee. This is just genius !! Apricot and the hops are a fantastic pairing. The IPA its self come thought very lightly and the bland of the apricot and hops is very well balanced. No flavor jumps at you.

Amber with thin white head. Aroma of apricots mixed with citrus hops. Flavor is of light apricots and hops. So-so.

Not a fruity aroma. A balance of hops in the aroma. A nice flavor of hops witha great finish. Not bitter and not real fruity. Pretty tasty.

Draft at Flying Saucer. Nice orange/brown color with a thin head. Big fruity nose. Obviously a lot of fruit tastes make up most of the character, and I was actually surprised to learn it’s make from a "strong IPA" as I didn’t pick up a significant hoppy bitterness. More so than many fruit beers, but certainly nothing like in the 60 Minute. For a style I’m generally not too fond of, this one is good and would make a nice change of pace beer, though I doubt I’d ever have more than 1 at a time. The wife likes it, which is always a plus, too.

Pretty good, I was hoping for more of an IPA though. Kind of somkey flavor to it. Not an IPA flavor at all. Very little apricot is present, if they didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t know it was there. No alcohol presence. Surprisingly light bodied.

looks nice. smells nice. beginning flavor is nice. aftertaste is...AWEFUL!!! yuck. poured most of it out. what a bummer.

Pours golden orange with a good sized white head. Aroma is some hops but mainly fruit. Flavor is a bit of hops in the beginning but quickly followed by the sweetness of the apricots. Overall a pretty good brew but it did get a bit harsh as it warmed up.

good lacing on the head, mango and apricot on the nose with the apricot taking over in the taste. -- rerate. pours clear golden orange color. apricot aroma easy to distinguish, but no taste of hops in the flavor. Comes off as a flat fruit beer. Okay, but not great.
