Honey Coloring. Small Head. Good Aroma.. Fruity. Wheat is not Overbearing.. Nor the Apricot...Actually a Very Tasty Beer, as it’s Balanced Very Well.. Very Easy to Drink.

Pours a lighter shade of gold with minimal head. Fruity aroma, but not necessarily of apricot. It just seemed "fruity" as opposed to any particular kind of fruit. The taste had a wonderfully subtle tinge of apricot and wheat. The wheat is very hidden and takes a while to expose itself. Very tasty!

I really enjoy this fruit beer. It has an absolutly wonderful apricot aroma and flavor. Drinking this beer is akin to taking a giant bite out of a fresh, juicy apricot. It's really that tasty.

Color is a solid cloud of pale yellow, fluffy solidly thick white head thats sits about a pencil width high and sustains well throughout consumption and leaves lace sticking in tiny spots. Aroma is of a fresh light apricot and apricot skins, quite nice, I just so happen to really like apricots so the smell was dead on, just a bit to light, I want more. Anyways...taste has fluffy wheat grain sweetness thats nice and soft and there's a milding sense of fresh apricot and has a nice velvety apricot skin dryness in the finish thats light and playful. Pleasant, smooth, and easy sweetness with a close to medium body feel and light wheaty texture. Refreshing and a bit on the lighter side and has a nice drinkablity, its just a tad shy of memorable. Getting close to the Pyramid version which I really like and don't mind have'n around for beatin' the easy summer heatin'.

UPDATED: JAN 18, 2004 MABR-Cloudy golden color,Wheaty apricot aroma,with a light wheat taste and semi-strong canned juice taste,it didn't seem to have a good flavor of apricot just tasted kind of processed.It's worth trying but little else.
