Draught. Clear copper color with thin off-white head. Apricot and caramel aroma. Apricot flavor well balanced with the malt. Dry rather than sweet. Very good.

12oz bottle. Hazy and orange colored. Slightly golden and pink grapefruit juice hue. Spotty white head. Apricot and peach nose. Citrus and tons of different fruits. Initial dry and slightly bitter flavor. Then the sweet honeyish flavors come through. Then the cornucopia of fruit flavors. Of course, apricots and peaches. But there are other notes of orange, lemon and lime, slight grapefruit and plumes. The finish is crisp and sharp. The hops are citrusy and dry. Tart and sour flavors intermingle with sweet and sugary nuances. This is definitely tasty, and the fruit flavors are enhanced by the dry finish.

Pours a hazy orangish color. Fruity/yeasty aroma. Love the taste of this. Wheaty, yeasty and apricot. The apricot gives it a sweet fruity flavor but not too sweet. Fairly creamy texture. If you’ve had the Pyramid Apricot Ale, it tastes just like that only not as sweet. This would be a great summer ale and one that I will be purchasing again.

you might as well call this "the apricot beer". at least that’s what everybody around here calls it. pours hazy apricot color with light fluffy white head. nose of apricot, spice, citrus, fresh strawberry, cantaloupe. flavors of apricot, malt, fruitiness. light bitterness. finish is slightly dry and tart with a lingering apricot with floral notes. pretty carbonated and a little on the thin side. regardless of how much i like it, it’s my wife’s, my stepmother’s, and a boatload of other people’s beer of choice so it’s always in my fridge. not bad for a lighter beer, although i go for stuff WAY stronger....did i mention it tastes like apricot?

UPDATED: APR 13, 2010 The Magic Hat flagship brew, as far as I’m concerned. A pseudo-complex taste that truly escapes description. Dry, sweet apricot comes close. You could savor this beer or session it. I recommend the latter. Buy a case and get after it. Cheers.

UPDATED: AUG 5, 2009 I’ve outgrown this beer. People talk about the delicious apricot flavor, but I don’t think it is as smooth as it is made out to be. I can drink it, but I’d prefer some of the other magic hat products, or get a specialty fruit beer from Belgium.

On Tap. A nice golden color,with a light fruity nose. Sort of a bready flavor,maybe some yeast,with an awesome light fruit finish,somewhere in all this I swear I could smell or taste bubblegum. An odd brew but very refreshing and tasty...Will drink again.
