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.

Pours a clear deep golden with a spotty-lacing froth of white head. Aroma of sweet sugary apricots and a touch of pale malt. Body starts effervescent and semi-sweet with an earthy, citric apricot flavor and finishes thinner, drier and slightly buttery. Needs a fuller, sweeter body.

12oz bottle. Poured a light to medium and hazy yellow color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of mainly strong apricots. Tastes of lighter apricots, wheat, and fruity. Medium sweet with a thin body.

Bottle… Mostly clear, golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Lots of apricot and pale grain in the aroma. The fruity, buttery flavor tips toward the sweet side of balance. Light to medium-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. More sweet apricot and buttery diacetyl in the lengthy finish. Spent grain taste at the very end. Cheers to growler for splitting his bottle with me!
