Apricot fruity and sweet malt aroma and flavor, with tropical fruit aftertaste.

[US West Coast Trip 2013] okej, den här hade jag svårt för. Aroman var helt OK, rätt färsk och fruktig. Men smaken, syrlighet, citrus, lätt, nja smaken håller inte klass.

Pours a light golden color,mi.d hop aroma, kind of a dry tart pale ale, not great but but bad either

Bottle. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Light bitter flavor. Some fruity notes. mango? Average light bitter finish. Oily palate.

Pours pale gold color with quick dissolving foamy white head. Fruit and malt aromas. Fruit and malt flavor. Rather sweet taste. Medium light body and sweet finish.

A vigorous pour into my Teku glass produces a fat-two-finger thick, pale head. The beer is a pretty, almost orange tinged, rich gold color that shows a brilliantly clear, lighter version of the same when held up to the light. The aroma is perfumed with floral apricot notes, thought it is not as overwhelming as I was expecting. This is supported by soft, hay like, and cracker like, pale malt character.

Quite effervescent, and fairly light bodied, there is a definite floral fruit character to this beer; the latter brings out some light tartness here. There is a soft, chewy, cracker like, and pale grain laden malt character to this beer that helps to balance the floral apricot fruitiness. There is just enough bitterness here that there is a bite to the finish.

I was expecting something a bit more like Pyramid Apricot, the Apricot flavor is a bit softer here, though it is still the dominant note. This is a nice enough beer, good for a mindless beer to quaff on a hot summer’s day, or after a long, hot drive through the desert and a beer proffered as a token of camaraderie (the latter being applicable right now).

355ml bottle from Beer Hawk - Orange coloured body, feint wisp of a head, not too pretty. The nose is "mystery fruit" - is it Strawberry? Peach? Nectarine? Not sure. Bit dry on the taste, palate a bit sticky, with a quite flat carbonation. Decent enough fruity, but not one I’d have again.

Excelente sabor a durazno y algo mas no tiene tanto aroma como color y sabor y paladar creo que la mejor cerveza frutal

Hazy amber color; Medium body; Aroma of sweet malt, peaches, & spice; Flavor of slight sweet malt, fruit, caramel, and spice; Decent.

Had it on tap at Yard House in Glenview IL. Poured a clear dar amber. Thin head bad aroma, and cough syrup fruity taste. Bad combo.
