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

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.

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.

Tap in Columbus, OH. Golden beer, decent white head. Aroma has a hint of the apricots that are described to be in this beer. Flavor very floral with a hint of the apricot. Little malt flavor accompanies the beer. Very smooth going down. To me, this is an example of a well-balanced fruit beer. Too often I taste all fruit or no fruit. This has a pleasant touch of the apricot.

i really had a hard time trying to taste any fruit in this one.if this is a friut beer at all so im ging to grade it as if it were so based on New Glarus belguim red being my favorite in that style i would have to rate this as not being one one hundreth of big red but if i were to rate it as a apa i would give it a 2.4 very cool lable
