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.

Poured a lightly hazy, dark golden color with a small white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of wheat and sweet apricot extract. Taste of sweet apricots, yeast, some citrus, toffee, toast, and wheat malt.

Bottle. Nice refreshing beer with a light apricot aftertaste. Haven’t found this in years and was happy to come across it again. Nothing too special, but very good overall.

Draft at Brewery. Poured a clear golden yellow in color with a large white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of fruit, (peach and apricot) and a little wheat. Taste is almost tart at first with apricot fruit and a little wheat. Not much to it, but it is quite refreshing and very drinkable.

Bottle. Clear light straw colored pour with a big white head. Strong aroma of apricots and some underlying wheat. Flavor is ok, light apricot and wheat flavors... was a little disapointed in this one.

Draught at Ithaca Beer Company in NY. Pours gold, with a medium frothy white head. Fruity, peach and apricot nose. Wheat malt in flavor. Soft, slightly yeasty finish.

Poured from bottle 8/2008 (sampler 12 pack). Clear lager appearance. Thin white head persists. Smells just like dried apricot. Crisp, clean feel, apricot in aftertaste. Easy drinking, finished well. Surprisingly good.
