Commercial Description:
Brewed by the original Wheat Beer Pioneers, Pyramid Apricot Weizen Ale is left unfiltered for extra flavor and aroma. The gold medalist of fruit beers, Pyramid Apricot Weizen is an adventurous wheat ale that offers the pleasing aroma and flavor of fresh apricots, and smooth and refreshing character for which our wheat beers are known.

Smells like peaches. Very cloudy and very carbonated. Nice aftertaste. Has a little weird taste to it though.

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!

Left a little sticky, morning breath-esque taste in the mouth post drink, but during each sip the flavor of apricots was good (definitely could taste the apricot!), thogh I wish it was more refreshing and less sweet.

Pours a nice orangish red with a small head apricot was suprisingly good, at first i did’t know what to think of this one at first.
