Jul 27, 2009 amber pour with a fizzy off-white head. aroma is some sour apricot, some resinous hops and a bit of caramel malt. flavor is interesting, apricot sweetness dominates, but with some nice hoppage to balance it out. A little wierd, slightly sour, slightly sweet and a little bitter, to quote MrBeerFanatic. Also not my style but drinkable and relatively enjoyable

Jul 23, 2009 Bottle: Really like what DFH is doing with beers, pushing all the limits. Sometimes you get it right sometimes you get it wrong. I think Aprihop falls short of a Fruit beer or a Hoppy beer. The combination sounds great but the execution is weak. Neither nor. But they get an A+ for innovation.

Jul 21, 2009 Pours a medium deep colored amber with a slight fizzy/ frothy white head. Aromas of hops and the apricots come through a little with some caramel. The flavor is of hops balanced with some apricots and a little caramel malt. A little sour, sweet, and bitter. I love my IPA’s but adding fruits to them just isn’t my style.

Jul 19, 2009 Very drinkable medium-bodied, hopped ale with lots of apricot puree. Amazing balance flies in face of fruit and hops making a good beer.

Jul 15, 2009 12 oz. bottle from Ludlow Wines in Cincinnati. Pours amber with medium off-white head that disappears quickly. Fruity aroma, but not overwhelming. Tart, juicy mouthfeel with dry finish and pleasant aftertaste. Delivers what it promises, as the hops and apricots definitely stand out. Very sweet but bitter. Not bad, but I’ve come to expect more from Dogfish Head.

Jul 15, 2009 Bottled. An amber beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of caramel and apricots - not for me. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel and apricots as well as a bit of hops, leading to a dry, slighlty acidic, and bitter finish.

Jul 12, 2009 Bottle. Moderate aroma of faint apricots. Thin but clingy head, pouring a reddish copper. Slightly sour and tart, with notes of citrus apricots and maybe a touch of cherry. Not sure Id drink a six pack...but this one seems pretty damn good.

Jul 11, 2009 Pours an amber color with little head and lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops, and apricots. Taste was sour apricots with some hops and a tart bite. I was expecting a little more from this beer than the sour fruit taste I got but it wasn’t bad - just not as good as I was expecting.
