An unclear orange beer with a small disappearing white head. The aroma is dominated by apricot, with some wheat notes in the background. The flavor is slightly sweet and again dominated by apricot, but the body is thin.

UPDATED: AUG 4, 2009 (Bottle 35,5 cl) A hazy, golden beer with a small, white head. Distinct aroma of apricot. Medium-bodied, lightly sulphurous with distinct apricot flavours. But overwhelmingly a rather dry and fresh fruit beer with a subdued bitterness. High drinkability. 100506

Bottled. Hazy orange colour with small white foamy head. Aroma is apricot, some slight sweet malts as well as mild cardboard. Flavour is quite much the same with some parfumes soapy notes. Quite watery.

Sampled draught at Oliver Twist, Stockholm.
Cloudy orange. Sweet apricot jam aroma. The malt profile is clean, hard and simplistic with no softness. The apricot flavour is balanced, not overly sweet, but somewhat acidic. The poor malt structure however kills this beer, and creates a metallic, empty finish.

Draught at Crown & Anchor, Las Vegas
Hazy golden color. Aroma of dried apricots. No beer taste at all, weak, thin, just a synthetic apricot touch.

Distinct apricot aroma and flavour. Not bad, but resembles alcopop too much.

Tap @ Malone’s, Vancouver. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are rich apricot, malt and hops. Sweet and fruity.

(Bottle) Pours a slightly cloudy orange with average-sized head that disipates quickly. Aroma of sugary apricot, like candy. Flavor of malts, mild hops, and apricot. Descent fruit beer.
