The beer has a thin, quickly dissolving head with a fairly strong fruity aroma. The medium sweet taste has a modestly lingering fruity finish. I was curious about this beer and was pleasantly surprised.

Tap @ brewery. Golden appearance with a cream colored head. A touch tart, unmalted wheat-like, citrusy, peach, apricot aroma. Well balanced, fairly fruity, apricot, peach, wheat malty flavor. Great brew.

on tap poured into a pint glass a: golden hue, nice foamy head with fair retention, lots of noticable carbonation s: pleasing smell, light wheat and citrus. nice apricot. t: a very sweet beer, the apricot def did not bring any fermentable sugars. Apricot dominates but is very pleasing and refreshing. m&d: light creamy mouth feel. Very drinkable beer, refreshing on a hot summer day.

Fruity aroma. Taste is a bit malty with distinct sweet fruit flavor. Odd, buttery, earthy tones as well.

Bottle. Pours clear yellow with no head. Smells skunky with an off fruity scent. Taste is sweet and watery. This one is pretty bad.

Pour is a light golden color, with a quickly diminishing white head. Nose is of apricots, go figure right? Taste is sweet, and very peach and apricot like, very little of the wheat from the name present. Very light on the tongue and a very refreshing beer overall.

The aroma was somewhat off putting, smelling of either a jolly rancher or one-a-day gummy vitamin. The taste was alright, but all in all not one I would go back for seconds for.

Look this is my not one of my favorite styles of beer. It is much more reminiscent of a wine cooler then beer. But if you like that this is great. Pours golden with a tie bubble, white head that poured over the glass. Aroma is sweet, fruity and crisp. They say mild fruit I said medium fruit mild wheat. Over all good beer for the style.

A: Clear golden color with a minimal white head that fades fast... S: Apricot stands out... its not too pungent and is pleasant, but the beer lacks any other character in the nose... T: Apricot lends a nice flavor to the subtle malty sweetness... again depth is lacking... M: Smooth and crisp... refreshing feel... O: This beer suffers from a lack of depth, and this hurts an otherwise refreshing beer...

bottled. Sharp fruit aroma. Yellow hazy pour. lemony with too much apricot, not great at all.
