Intriguing.....my first beer with apricots. I enjoyed the fact that the base is an IPA...it goes well with the apricots. Little malt in the taste, mainly hops, with fruits, apricot being the most prevalent. Good finish.

DFH MAKES SOME GREAT BEERS. I MUST HAVE GOTTEN AN OLD BOTTLE. THE APRICOT AROMA AND TASTE WERE ABSENT. SO WHATS LEFT? AN IPA BY DFH. I WAS LET DOWN AGAIN.

Excellent. Wonderful subtle apricot over well-balanced mix of malt and full-on IPA hoppiness. A very pleasant surprise for a fruit beer.

Clear, reddish gold color, big big head. Strangely sweet in the nose, perhaps due to the apricots? Not like a typical IPA, certainly. To me, the apricot is a hindrance. It feels like the sweetness of the apricot kills that hop bite. Certianly a drinkable beer, just not blown away.

Beautiful bright amber color with a decent long lasting head. Dry hopped with a slight apricot overtones in aroma and taste. Tastes like an IPA with a slight apricot twing to it.

Pours a golden amber with a decent head and a light, sweet aroma with definite notes of apricot. Light, fresh apricot taste with a light tartness and some hops. Thing body with decent carbonation. A nice, fresh tasting beer without the off-flavours characteristic in less successful endeavours. Many thanks to G for the taste!

This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Nice rich slight cloudy amber pour, but transluscent still with a big frothy offwhite almost peachy head. Smell is mild hops, sweet malt and light apricot. Bottle isn’t very new, so perhaps the smells have faded a bit. Taste is mildly hopped, slight bit of alcohol present, with a sweet apricot syrupy taste present too. Slightly more IPA like than pure fruit beer, which is a nice change. Mouthfeel is rich and has more body than expected. Overall a great fruit beer, a good IPA and one I’d like to definitely try again very fresh. One of my favorites from DFH.
