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.

On tap. Pours a cloudy, light orange with with a thin, white cap that offers little lacing. Nose is apricot, peaches, lychee, sourdough bread, lemongrass. Taste is sour and sweet peaches and apricots but finishes with bready malt rather than with acidic fruit. Not bad. A better than average fruit beer.

Holy crap, I haven’t rated a beer in over a year and a half. Pathetic. Anyway, nose of apricot, taste of sweet apricot. Somewhat refreshing finish. Would be better if I liked apricots more, but thats my bias.

Aroma of fruit and taste is sweet with lots of sweet apricot flavor. Dry apricot too help this balance out a bit.

This is a pretty decent fruit beer. Nice balance on the apricot. You notice it’s there but it’s not overpowering

Bottle. Nose-apricot, fruit gum, lychee. Body-medium ring of bubbles, piss yellow. Taste-spiky, not too bad, fruit, watered down, gum water, cotton candy. Pretty much tastes as one would imagine an apricot wheat to taste.

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Smell is apricot, fruity, wheat, malts. little bit artifical. The look is darker golden in color, clear, with a little white head. The taste is water, fruity, apricot, honey, and sweet.
