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.

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.

Rated while drinking: Pale yellow body with a fluffy white head. Whole-heartedly reeks of apricots. Makes my eyes cross. But it’s quite fragrant. Flavor is identical to the aroma. Apricots, apricots, apricots. It’s like a smoothie. Something weird going on behind the apricots though. It’s not wheat... Not sure. One-dimensional beer and even though the ratings say it, Ithaca’s less than stellar beer offering. When I get variety packs, this beer I hand out to whoever wants. If they made a fruit beer with something different, it might be better. But the apricots gag me. Too much.

Bottle… Mostly clear, golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Lots of apricot and pale grain in the aroma. The fruity, buttery flavor tips toward the sweet side of balance. Light to medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. More sweet apricot and buttery diacetyl in the lengthy finish. Spent grain taste at the very end. Cheers to growler for splitting his bottle with me!

Surprised by this; didn’t care for many apricot wheats before. Good aroma; taste is great; had both bottle and tap. Very smooth and creamy, like the old Celis White had been. Leaves you wanting a lot more.

12 oz bottle. The body is very clear. The aroma is very nice and aricotty. The taste is very smooth and refreshing. Nice fruit beer.

Bottle sampled. Pours golden with a small white head. Aroma of sweetness, apricots, sugar, and grain. The flavor is sweet, fruity apricots, sugar, grain, and slight bitterness in the finish.

From a summer variety pack that was filled just last month. Straw colored, clear, with a head that doesn’t last. Smells and tastes like apricot. Not too sweet or too strong, but doesn’t seem to have other elements to it. Also is too light-bodied. A little too much CO2 brings a slightly acidic taste.
