May 22, 2007 IPA’s are my favorite brew although i do frown upon the too stylistic attempts of IPAs. This one perfected the stylish IPA. The apricot tones arent overpowering but are certianly there. Perfect "hoppiness" for an IPA. Poured releasing a fruity, hoppy, mouth watering aroma.....delicious with fish or crab cakes.

May 22, 2007 The apricots in this IPA really change the flavor. There is still pine and citrus, but the apricots bring a stronger malt prescence and a sweetness. Pretty good brew, I will only get it once and a great while though.

May 21, 2007 Dogfish Head loves to get off the beaten path with their beers and this is a good example. It’s a fairly decent IPA, with a light aroma of apricot mixed in with the hops. Flavor also is primarily that of a hoppy IPA, with a mild but easily recognizable apricot flavor. I works as a novelty and shows the typical high quality of Dogfish Head brews, but its not something I would want to drink regularly. Interesting and enjoyable one off.

May 21, 2007 I was expecting this brew to be slightly sweeter with a bit more complexity. It is different than what I expected, but doesn’t dissapoint. The aroma of apricots is subtle and light. The hoppiness does not overwhelm the mild apricot flavors. Nicely balanced and perfect with homemade pizza.

May 21, 2007 4 pack of 12oz bottles from the spirit haus... Brie has been wanting to try this one for a while. Very nice pour into my dfh snifter. This tastes like a dfh IPA with some apricot. Or a magic hat #9 with some balls. I wish that there were more hops in this, but that might mask the fruit juice. This was easy to drink at 7% and went well with some pizza after a warm day. Not bad, but it should be in 6 packs.

May 20, 2007 Bonus Bottle from trade with John Adam2002. Thanks. Pours a clear orange amber with a thin white head that fades quickly. Nose is a bit weak for an ipa, not as hoppy as i remember it. Slight fruity notes. Flavor is off too, bitter and metalic with a mild "apricot" flavor--i guess. Not my favorite product from DFH.
