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, variety pack from Brewers Outlet, Lancaster, PA...pours light amber, small white head...dried apricot smell...slight metallic taste with a little ginger ale, orange as it warms...better than some American Wheats I’ve tasted in a thirst quenching kind of way.

Pours a clear gold color, with a tiny white head. Smells of peaches, apricot, and other fruits. A little floralness was detectable as well. The flavor was a bit artificial tasting. Very fruity, lots of peaches and apricot flavors abound. Pretty sugary and sweet throughout. Really just too artifical for me, and Im not a huge fan of apricots, so this wasnt too enjoyable for me really.

Bottle: Nice apricot aroma. Flavor is awfull with a very strange aftertaste. I don’t even know what to compare the aftertaste to. This beer was awfull. I would never drink this again. I couldn’t get through it I had to pour it down the drain.

Far too much apricot-ness--it is overpowering in a sickly-sweet sort of way. I doubt I’ll ever try it again.

Although this is not the best beer I’ve had it certaintly isn’t bad, it is interesting because it’s totally different. It’s aroma is just right, with an adequate bouqet of apricot. It’s appearance is rather blah, with a light amber color, and rather tiny head. It’s flavor is more like a carbonated soda, than beer, but it does have that beer charachter. It’s palate is smooth. It’s ok, a nice break up from the serious brews.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of apricot is overbearing. I can hardly bare to inhale this scent. Poured apple juice in color with a medium-sized, fizzy, white head that diminished immediately. Flavor of apricot and butter. Disgusting. Medium body. Oily texture. Lively carbonation. Butter finish. Absolutely gross. Drain pour.

Had this beer on draft at Mad Mex in Robinson. Nice golden color, good head, Apricot quite prominant, not just a hint as reported by Brewer. A little sweet but it finshes clean and would be a good drink for the purpose.

Light color, lots of apricot on the nose. Not a ton of flavor beyond this on the palate and it seems quite sweet. Pretty much what it says it is.
