Commercial Description:
Also known as Speight's Apricot Wheat Beer.
Speight's Harvest is a limited release beer produced to compliment the other beers in the Speight's Craft range. With a brilliant, deep golden hue, Speight's Harvest has a sweet apricot aroma, reminiscent of the Central Otago late summer fruit harvest. A combination of malted wheat and malted barley was used to give the distinctive, slightly dry flavour and clean finish. At 4.5% alchohol, Speight's Harvest is light and refreshing.

Draught@Speights Ale House, Queenstown, New Zealand. Golden beer with a nice strong apricot aroma. The flavour is bitter with a mild apricot body and a mellow apricot finish. Overall a reasonable themed beer, the apricot works ok.

(On tap) Clear, pale golden with a small, white head. Weird aroma of fruit bubblegum. Thin body, sharp chemical and artificial fruit notes. Also somewhat astringent, chemical finish. Supposedly an apricot wheat? 250108

I’ve had this one in New Zealand on my honeymoon.
It mentioned wheat beer. A lot of apricot in the flavor and aroma! Fruity with some hints of being a wheat.

Draught at the Speights Ale House in Petone (Wellington), a clear gold with a filmy head. A syrupy apricot flavour, quite sweet. A bitter and malty palate, the apricot syrup follows in a very sweet finish. A bit gimmicky and even the girls struggled with it (Surely the target ’market’ here).

Pale yellow straw colour, Big Apricot aroma. Flavour of apricote drowns out any whet that there may have been. Definitly one to grab female drinkers.
