Fantastic fruit beer, one of my favorites next to central city red racer rasberry. It says apricot and thats what you get not some untraceable essence of fruit that your struggling to find such as in cannery brewing apricot. This beer is just the way it should be, fruity, fresh, smooth and have a good drinkability, definately a winner.

I love this stuff. Seriously. Good, strong apricot and wheat aroma. As expected. Very fresh, and not quite ripe, tart apricot flavor with a dry crisp finish. Excellent. And it’s insanely chuggable for some reason.

Probably the only fruit beer I like. It isn’t offensive, however I can’t see drinking a 6 pack by myself.... Too sweet

Poured into a weizen glass. Color is a cloudy orange/yellow with a thin white head. Aroma is mild but has some artificial citrus notes and wheat. Flavor is apricot with some light wheat flavors in the background. Light bodied with quite fizzy carbonation - too much for my tastes. Overall this is definitely an apricot beer, but it’s just a little too fruity for my tastes...

Tasted from bottle into nonic pint glass. Poured a mostly clear orange color. Large white head initially but faded quickly with no lace. Aroma and flavor of --you guessed it--apricot. And that’s it. No sign of hops or really even malt. Barely a beer, more like hard apricot juice. I like Magic Hat #9, which uses Apricot. It always made sense to me: since brewers’ yeast can naturally give-off apricot esters, it would be interesting to compliment it with some real apricots. But Pyramid’s brew just uses way, WAY too much.

pale, cloudy, very strong fruit taste. Dominating Apricot taste, which I’m not an apricot fan, so I dont really like this....but I see what they are trying to do. If you like fruit beer, and like apricot, this is ok.

From bottle. I didn’t expect much with this one, and indeed, it tastes fake, like apricot perfume. It is crisply carbonated and I’m sure more pleasant at the height of summer, or maybe not...What can I say? Not my thing. It is bold, and aromatic, and I didn’t want another one.
