On tap at Falling Rock. It’s easy to say that because this is a "fruity blonde ale" that it should not be rated this highly but this is the best damn fruity blonde ale I’ve ever had. Light-bodied and full flavored, easy drinking with a nice non-cloying sweetness. A great summertime quencher!

Big apricot nose and taste. Almost too sweet, but it is quite refreshing.

Bottle pours a light copper with a frothy but rapidly dissipating white head. Aroma is wheat, citrus and apricot. Taste is crisp and full of apricot flavor. Reads almost like a light hefeweizen.

Traded bottle, not sure how old but it was in mighty fine shape. I really liked how this beer let the fruit shine. Apricot is mild but the beer did not overpower the fruit here. Big carbonation with a massive, pillowy head. Bold apricot aroma mixed with other stone fruits. Nice mix of apricot fruit and a touch of bitterness in the flavor. Very well done.

Pours cloudy gold with white head and little lacing. Aroma of apricots and some cream. Taste is also apricot with some hay bitterness mixed in.

If you like apricots, you’re gonna love this one. Pours a murky slightly dark golden with very little head. Aroma is huge with apricot; in fact, that’s about all I’m getting. Taste is similar with lots of apricot but not overly sweet. This one is quite refreshing, actually. It’s kind of one-dimensional, so make sure you’re in the mood for a fruit brew before partaking. Finishes mostly clean and fruity and not overly carbonated.

12 oz can. Orange and slightly hazy with a small off-white head that doesn’t last. The aroma is strong, mostly sweet and fruity (apricots). Pretty light soft body with a crisp and clean feel. The apricot flavor is there but pretty subtle, not too much else going on really. Still, pretty refreshing and enjoyable.

Can from Aaron. Thanks! Hazy orange pour with a short lived white head. Really great apricot aroma. Tons of bright fruit aroma, a touch of tartness, and some sweet malt. Very refreshing flavor of apricot nectar. Tons of fruit, light malt, and a hint of grass.

Bright apricot aroma, hazy gold with little head. Straightforward lightly sweet apricot flavor. Not complex, but refreshing. Good summer beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

can from my main bro adnielsen! this is a great fruit beer! Pours a dark hazy gold with a slight white head that fades to a halo. Moderate lacing. Aroma is huge on fresh apricot! Taste is a nice easy drinker with tons of fresh apricot. Can’t be mad at this beat. Real refreshing. Would love some of this for mowing the lawn in the summer!
