On tap at Hops in New West. A decent fruit beer; okay for type. Enjoyable but one is enough for this cat.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20 VALIS (210) - Nashua, New Hampshire, USA - MAR 15, 2013
UPDATED: MAR 17, 2013 Clear orange color, nice lace. Smells like fake apricot in a chemical way. Taste is also funky and unnatural, mealy, dusty. Aftertaste is smoother. Not a bad beer but wouldn’t choose if better was available.

[Thanks to fonefan]. Bottle. Golden colour with a white head and nice lacework. Aroma is light malty, sweet and fruity. In the flavor are present hints of peaches and tropical fruits with sugary notes. The final is fruity and light sweet.

Poured amber with a frothy white head. Aroma of sweet strawberry and apricot. Medium body, quite lively, flavour similar with some caramel malt and a sweet, lingering finish.

Bottle from beersofeurope.co.uk. Crystal clear, still amber like a faro. Smells unimpressive -sweet and skunky like a mediocre macro lager. Taste is floral and fruity - perfumed, perhaps raspberry jam, perhaps peach. Strange. Very short, watery finish but that might do it a favour as I’m not keen.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 VoodooBear (32) - San Juan, PUERTO RICO - MAR 10, 2013
Presentation: 12 oz. brown bottle with no freshness date. Served in a Sam Adams sensory glass.
Appearance: Healthy one and a half fingers of head that stay a while and eventually start to thin out. Swirling the glass around a bit brings it right back to life. Dark gold, very deep color, yet very clear. Leaves behind some great lacing. clings all over the glass.
Smell: Smells mainly of apricot hard candy, pretty sweet and pleasant. A bit of malt in the background as well. This is a beer after all!
Taste: Very fruity, without being overwhelming. It tastes of apricot candy, malty as well. Just a hint of hoppy bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Light, refreshing, smooth, very easy to drink. Good amount of carbonation. Semi-dry and quite tart despite the fruitiness. Very pleasant all in all.
Overall: A fun and refreshing any-time brew. Interesting in the taste department, but always feels like a beer. Perfect for when you just wanna sit back, relax and have some fun drinking a cold one. You won’t be missing your go-to, ’run of the mill’ lager when you have this "not quite pale ale" by your side.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 FatPhil (7496) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - MAR 10, 2013
355ml bottle (Bacchanalia, Cambridge)
Pleasant fruity aroma, light and uplifting. Rich orange, large frothy persistent head. Fairly watery palate. Watery taste too. Some peachiness and red berries too. Lawnmwer beer. Bugger all finish after a brief burst of peach. Meh.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20 trujahwarrior (267) - Monroe, Washington, USA - MAR 5, 2013
Pours a slightly hazy orange color with a white fluffy head but it fades quickly and leaves spotty dope like lacing. Smells of apricot, pale malt, and caramel. Tastes of all the same things. Mouthfeel is light and creamy with good carbonation. This is a great tasting beer and a great intro to Magic Hat for me. It’s a toss up between this and Pyramid’s apricot weizen though. I like how the pale ale and apricot flavors work together in this.
