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.

Surprised by this; didn’t care for many apricot wheats before. Good aroma; taste is great; had both bottle and tap. Very smooth and creamy, like the old Celis White had been. Leaves you wanting a lot more.

Not sure what these folks are thinking. with only a 2.7 out of 5. Color is golden with minimal head. Aroma is guess what-apricot. Apricot overwhelms the flavor but I am not an apricot eater but the mix is unique and refreshing. toasty maltiness at the end

Slightly hazy orange colour, and a fantastic apricot aroma. Very wheaty and very apricoty...if you buy the beer, because it sounds great, you'll love it! It handles its job as being an apricot wheat tremendously!

Delicious aroma and flavor of apricots, without that awful aftertaste some wheat beers tack on. The guy at the bottle shop said that this was the best apricot wheat he had tried, so we took him for it and it’s one of the better ones I’ve had.

Got this in a Growler at MacGreggors in Rochester. Ron, try it there, though Im surprised you didnt like it from 'beers of the world' they usually keep their beers fairly fresh and put the ones that are getting old on special. I love this beer in a growler. Fresh apricot taste with a medium bodied wheat beer. quite simple for what it is.

Delicious aroma and flavor of apricots. Wonderful for a refreshing pick-me-up. The guy at the bottle shop said that this was the best apricot wheat he had tried (which has been a lot, for what there is), and I would say I can definitely believe that.

The apricot wheat combination works surprisingly well. The apricot provides an interesting dimension to both the taste and the nose. Good alone on a hot summer day, or with snacky stuff from your local Wegman’s, like maybe some mozzarella and olives. Not a great beer, but pleasant enough at the right time. Had this in Ithaca.

12 oz bottle. The body is very clear. The aroma is very nice and aricotty. The taste is very smooth and refreshing. Nice fruit beer.
