Hazy Orange golden color with a moderate off- white head. Aromas of medium sweet apricots, some earth malt, hoppy grapefruit, and light caramel. Flavors are mildly sweet with apricot, light caramel and grapefruit. middle gets more bitter until the finish with a near biting apricot pit/sharp hops bite. Not sure if the bitterness is the hops of the apricot. quite funky. Medium body with some stickiness, light acidity. Plenty of apricot, but also plenty of hops. Solid effort on a different kind of fruit brew.

Bottled at Miller Tech Center. Pours a hazy amber with a fine off white head and some lacing. Aroma is mostly sweet apricots although some caramel malt and fruity hops are there as well. The flavor is nearly overpowered by the fruit although a bit of malt and hops do shine through. Medium bodied, sticky texture.
