Hands down my favorite fruit beer. Very pronounced sweet apricot aroma with a white foamy head. Appearance is a hazy orange-copper color. Has a strong apricot flavor with a semi-dry finish. Great summer beer. It’s sweet so can’t drink too many at one sitting, but it’s a great change of pace beer.

Bottle. Pours light orange with a two finger head that disappears quickly. Aroma is filled with apricots and sweet malts. Taste is a bit thin much like Coors mixed with apricots. Mouthfeel is bubbley and dry. Not really a favorite for me.

This fruit beer, is not my favorite. It’s aroma is certainly full of apricots, and nice floral aromas, and sweet malt scents. It’s appearance is an orange cloudy color, with almost no head. It’s flavor is full of sweet fruit (apricot), sweet malts. The palate it’s not overly sweet, it’s actually rather tart, but in a nicely balanced way, but it’s really an experience only an apricot or fruit beer would enjoy. It’s refresing, but for me is only good for one use. It’s best value probaly would be for cooking.

12 oz. bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma of apricot is quite bold, but not overdone. Hints of wheat also perceived in the background. This beer has a mild sweet apricot flavor well complemented by the tartness coming from the wheat. However, it lacks presence in mouth. A good refreshing beer for a warm summer day (if you like apricots).

Bottle, pilsner glass. Pours an opaque orange-gold. The fluffy white head has some staying power, and leaves a little lacing. Aroma of apricots, lemons, sweet corn? Flavor much the same, apricots and citrus are the dominant notes, a bit of a grassy finish. The fruits are nice, but there’s not much else here, and the sweetness gets a bit cloying, like someone slipped a hard candy into my beer. The suds give a modest creaminess to the mouthfeel.

Golden in color with a crisp white head. Nose abundant apricots with hints of wheat intermingling. The palate is smooth and light with a bit of hop followed by a hint of apricot on the finish. Very refreshing and easy drinking!
