Poured a clear golden color with a nice white head and no retention. Aroma of apricot hand lotion, taste of apricots and some slight hop bitterness at the end, along with some sweet malt notes. Left a fairly clean aftertaste. Pretty straightforward for a fruit beer, not much else going on other than the apricot flavors. gsmitty80 (638), Washington DC, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Jul 17, 2007 A pretty decent apricot beer. The wheat aspect is more of a thicker american style than european but the strong apricot flavor offsets the thick malts. Ofortuna (322), Grafton, Wisconsin, USA
| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Jul 9, 2007 Last beer of the night and what a way to go out. WOW, what a mess! Who the heck thought this would be a great beer to release!?!? Looks like apple juice and has aromas of artificial apples and apricots all thrown into a vat of spoiled cabbage. Damn, is this one fouled! Thin, watery mess with too much forced CO2 ontop of everything else. Too many layers of foulness in here that I just don’t want to waste the time writing about them anymore..... 1FastSTi (2557), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA
| 1.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 3/5 | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/20 | Jul 9, 2007 Via Ughsmash. Holy crap this is awful! Pours to a transparent orangish pale yellow body with a very thin white head. The aroma is foul. Ick! Icky artificial (at least that’s what my palate is telling me) apricots. The flavor also has an artificial apricot component and wheat. The palate is over-carbonated and sticky. This was not good. MrManning (1643), London, Ontario, Canada
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 8, 2007 This one is sparking yellow gold. The nose is pure fruity apricot, sugars, other fruit juice, like kool aid, peaches, and some mild hops. This apricot beer is tasting like it should, mainly like peaches and apricots, with a touch of bitter hops, and some sugary malts. More apricot than any other beer of the same name I usually drink. Good. Ughsmash (3999), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA
| 1.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jul 8, 2007 Bottle, thanks Ken! Poured a clear brighter golden with a short cap of white head. Aroma was very much of apricots with some sweetness and some tartness..nothing I really wanted in a beer, and it didn’t work so well. Flavor also had the apricot tartness.. somewhat sour and damn near offensive.. left a nasty vegetal and apricot finish. Light-bodied, but sticky with the unpleasant flavors at the end. Wow.. this was quite bad. ukoolaid (572), Amherst, Massachusetts, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Jun 30, 2007 Bottle. Pours a light slightly hazy yellow with diminishing white head. Aroma is apricot juice, and not much else. Taste is much of the same. Fairly watery. Nothing offensive here, but nothing to make me want another one either. ryan (1775), Beltsville, Maryland, USA
| 1.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Jun 26, 2007 Sample from kmweaver. Clear straw body with a tiny white head. The aroma is heavy, fake, apricot syrup. The flavor is sweet with lots more of that apricot jolly rancher syrup. Light body is thin, watery and moderately carbonated. This was really bad.
