Pours an average, white, frothy head. Clear, orange body. Smells purely of artificial, sweet apricot. Sweet malt and apricot in the flavor. Candyish. Medium body, prickly carbonation. Fairly sweet with a big time, tangy finish. Underwhelming.

Dec 29, 2009 341 mL Bottle sampled Dec 24, 2009. Yellow-gold body with a scanty fast-dissipating white head. Aroma of apricot, corn syrup, phenolic-sweet almost chemical aroma. Apricot and cotton candy stand out in the flavor and linger. A noticeable hop bitter comes through in the aftertaste without being too overpowering. Feels rather thin in the mouth. It struggles to make any worthy impression.

Dec 21, 2009 Bottle: Clear orange color, light white head. The nose is fruity with some apricot and orange notes, light wheat and husk and a meaty body. The flavor is balanced with a not-so-cloying citrus note with a fresh wheaty body. Not too much for hops or otherwise and it’s fairly 2 dimensional, but it’s good.

Nov 21, 2009 Bottle. Decent dense white head. Pours and smells apricot. I like apricots just ripe before they become over-sweet. This is just right. There’s enough fizz and bite to leave a clean-feeling mouth. Would be good with washed-rind cheese. This is not complex but it is nicely done.

Nov 12, 2009 Bottle: cellar stored a year:
pours a orangey-gold, fair cap, doentlast too long.
Sharp aromas of apricot...odd as this was stored a year ago doen’t seem synthetic so I’m guessing it’s extract. Light grassy notes and toasty cereal tones.
Fizzy mouth feel, dry character, biscuity malrs in front - a rush of fruit joinrd by some hop spiciness....dry crisp finish.
No bad or off tastes here but seems ’processed’ and unnatural somehow.

Sep 28, 2009 Pours a nice clear gold color with a small head. Smells like an apricot Jolly Rancher candy. Tastes like someone dissolved a bunch of apricot Jolly Ranchers in beer. Sweet and tart finish. Not as bad as my description might make it sound, as can be seen in my numerical rating. After all, I like Jolly Ranchers, and I like beer...

Sep 27, 2009 Bottle via the beer gnomes generous neighbor. Many thanks, O friend of the gnome. Nose of strong apricots as top is popped. Bright orange/ amber with steady carbonation . Thin white head. Watery chalk finish but light refreshing fruit ridden body. Unbalanced. A few caramel whisps in body but other than that a bit one dimentional.
