on tap-pours a white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is earthy, apricot, secondary light/medium malt. Taste is sweet earthy, apricot, secondary light/medium malt, slight hops.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear golden yellow with a thick white head. Aroma of perfumy apricot. Flavor of sweet, still perfumy apricot and light wheat malt. Very sweet, certainly artificially sweet. Ok overall because it was drinkable, but otherwise not great. 6/4/7/3/13 [3.3/5]

Deep gold pour with creamy white head and lace. Aroma is large apricote and light sweet malt. Apricot and sweet maltiness. Medium bodied with good carbonation. A nice fruit beer.

Pretty simple, but I would have it again. You really taste very little but apricot here. Maybe a bit of peach but almost no wheat at all.

Pours a clear golden brown with minimal head. Nose is the sweetest apricot the Earth ever produced. If it tastes as good as it smells, this will be good. Flavor is very well balanced. For using such a distinct fruit, the taste is well done. Not overdone by any means, but distinct and full. Feel is standard and overall it is highly drinkable. A very even fruit beer, though I know they just add the flavoring and don’t use actual fruit.

Pours a cloduy yellow/brown or what you could call a dirty yellow. Nice pleasant aroma of apricot. Floral and slightly perfumey. Taste is light apricot with mild hops. Finishes crisp and clean. Nice.

Golden-apricot color body. Big apricot aroma, even when cold. Enticing, but hints of concentrated apricot juice rather than the fruit itself. Refreshing apricot flavor with a decent malty underbelly. Has none of the off-flavors that are common in too many Kelly’s brews. Good.
