Pours cloudy golden, light white head with limited retention. Strong aroma of Apricot with a slight yeastiness, flavour of apricot persists strongly on the tongue tempered by a slight hop bitterness. Light mouthfeel with slightly tingly carbonation. Overall a very pleasant fruit ale though I’m partial to the style anyway.

does not count  Aug 30, 2008 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).

Aug 25, 2008 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.

Aug 24, 2008 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!

Aug 22, 2008 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.

Aug 22, 2008 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.
