This "fruit beer," which it is not truely at all, is rather lousy. In most pubs this beer is sold as a lager or a brown ale. From the moment it touches one’s tongue, an immediate spalsh of perfume is noted. The uninformed novice may understand that scent/taste to be "fruitiness." I fouthrightly disagree. The odors and flavors are much more flowery than fruity. I would imagine a better flavor could be attained from drinking old rose water from a vase. This beer leaves a soapy coating on the roof of the taster’s mouth as well. Overall, considering the pricetag on a pint of this in Philadelphia is over five dollars, this is a beer to avoid.

Oct 12, 2008 Bright gold pour with a white head. Apricoty with some vanilla elements. Really good. The caps are cool too.

Oct 9, 2008 Pours bright gold into a shaker. Bright white head recedes to skim surface. Apricot aromas. Apricot upfront, middle and back. Dry sour apricot finish.

Oct 8, 2008 Out of the bottle, it pours a whitish-gold color with a thinner head. It has a metallic-apricot flavor tempered with generous hops. It has a medium-bitter flavor. almost like an IPA/Apricot Ale hybrid. It was interesting and drinkable - probably my favorite in the Magic Hat line. For those that like fruity beers, this is a good one. For those that don’t, well, keep moving.

Oct 6, 2008 Poured a hazy straw, maybe very light copper color. Soapy looking white head with some lasting power, no lacing. Smells somewhat dirty and fruity. Some hint of apricot, a little of that dirty smell and a bit tart. Very middle of the road for me, not really my style and I would not buy again.
