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.

Clear yellow. Nice apricot smell. Body is light with strong apricot with touch of wheat in the finish. I think apricot goes nice in beer but I enjoy the sweetness contrasted more with hops than in a wheat beer.

Pale yellow color, like a cheap fizzy beer. Should be unfiltered and hazy to keep more flavor in. Medium apricot smell, mild through nose. Ok flavor, light palate. Overall, unique,but not that great.

Can't smell but assuming good apricot scent because of the strong apricot taste. Light beer ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

I tried this from the bottle. I was very excited after first pouring it, because the apricot smell was fantastic. However, the actual taste was pretty bland.

Poured from a Bottle, clear yellow a one finger foam. Smell is all apricot, taste is a light ale with not as much apricot as you would expect. Nice change of pace beer

I first tried this on tap and the apricot wheat flavor was very noticeable. Fairly decent taste. Then i went looking for bottle and tasted it and it was bland.....could be because i am getting into the darker beers and the ipa’s...but based on my last taste of this i wouldnt buy it again

On tap. Classic ’wheat beer’ look, hazy and golden. Not a whole lot of fruit in the nose, would like a little more. Could just be the keg, but seemed a bit flat with not a whole lot of mouthfeel. Thin and watery, not much head. Taste is pretty good, apricot does come through. Overall just OK - giving this a 3 because i’m guessing defects were in the serving, not the beer.

I like fruit beer so this was pleasant for me. A nice golden color with a apricot-y aroma. Very drinkable. Easy for summer.

Thanks to tom for this. Pours a hazy golden yellow with a small white ring that quickly disappears. Aroma is wheat and sweet apricots and honey. Taste is punchy apricot and bitterness. Definite wheat presence.
