Commercial Description:
An easy-drinking wheat beer is light in color and body...perfect for the warmer weather. In crafting this fine ale, we add many pounds of real apricot fruit to create a "secondary fermentation." This creates a gentle wheat beer with just a hint of apricot flavor in the finish. A very drinkable, mildly fruity ale.

Bottle. Pours a light golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of apricots and malt. Taste is semi sweet of apricot, light hops and wheat. Has a fruity clean finish. Simplly a nice, easy to drink brew.

There is a ghostly face on the label - one wonders what that is for. I love the sweet floral scent of a good apricot beer. The head sinks fast. There is a mellow, fresh apricot flavor, but it is a little medicinal. The weisse taste comes thru also. This is a nice mix of sour, sweet, floral, and bitter elements, but it is still on the light side. One of the better fruit brews, i.m.h.o.

I actually really like this fruity apricot wheat beer. Flavor is really quite good, very much like apricots not too sweet or sugary like many can get, and not at all bland, like the other half usually gets. Will definately recommend this a a good chioce.

sampled at the brewpub. Aroma is nearly all apricot and a touch of sugar. Taste is pretty sweet with apricot flavoring, get some light malts in the background. A bit artificial, and not memorable.

Aroma was of sweet fruit. Apricot was hard to single out. Pour was a light gold with a 1 finger white head. Taste was semi-sweet with light fruit notes and a light finish. Nice carbonation in this one. Fruit is not over the top in your face, but then it’s not in the foreground either.

clear pale yellow, fluffy white head. sweet apricot aroma. very dynamic flavor - brown sugar, apricot, wood and a light clean malt. its not a mix of flavors that i typically go for, but they were intriguing. definitely a well crafted fruit beer. underrated imo.

12oz bottle. slightly hazy, peach colored. Heavy aroma of sweet apricot juice. Flavor of malted wheat, some apricot flavors in the finish, like a dried fruit essence. Medium bodied, light finish.

Fruity aroma, light crisp fruity flavor, not over powering, nice beer to sip while floating int he pool.
