Excellent summer drinking. ALCOHOLNIZM (61), WARWICK, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 18, 2009 An interesting balance of hop and fruit. A very mild IPA (especially for DFH) and apricot that it refreshing; natural ingredients are nice so this doesnt end up tasting syrupy. Would be interested to try a higher hopped version of this beer. Swalden28 (1446), McKinney, Texas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 13, 2009 Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in Plano, TX. Pours a very nice looking deep, clear amber with off-white head. Aroma of apricot and malt. Flavor is malty, fruity, apricot, some tartness, an odd bitter at the end, but a VERY well balanced beer. Mouth feel is medium body with medium carbonation. Overall, a very enjoyable, refreshing beer!!! Very good! thorongil2 (56), , Ontario, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 12, 2009 (bottle) amber colour, faint fruity aroma, very light apricot, quite acidic, slightly bitter and mineral finish. Not much of an IPA and not much apricot. bobbypaulson (100), , Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jun 9, 2009 This is my fiancé favorite dogfish head beer out of the numerous bottles we have. Golden in color at first you taste the sweet fruity and caramel which changed to a citrus bitter end note due to the hops. Very smooth and refreshing beer. I prefer this to a cold glass of water when I finish mowing the lawn. Jsawyer (282), Glenside, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 9, 2009 Bottle. Clear amber body with a thick foamy cream head. Aroma of apricots floral spiciness, almost minty sweet, subdued blueberry-berry fruitiness, slight cereal, caramel, slightly citric. Flavor starts a subdued berry sweetness then is blown away by a cloying apricot sweetness and unbalanced bitterness that is only slightly citric. Occasionally you taste the IPA it should’ve been without those apricots. Palate is lightly carbonated and finishes sweet again once the bitterness dissipates.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 8, 2009 Bottle. Pours a deep amber with a small head. Aroma of fruit, caramel, and bitter hops. Flavor starts nice and hoppy then finishes with a sweet fruit-like finish. I don’t really taste the apricots, but this isn’t bad nonetheless.
