Alpine Beer Company Apricot Nectar

Brewed by Alpine Beer Company (CA)
Style: Wheat Ale
Alpine, California USA

On Tap @ brewery. Clear golden color with bright white head. The sweet apricot fruit in the aroma mixed seamlessly with the sweet malt. The flavor is decidedly fruity from the apricot. Again like the aroma the sweet malts used in this beer blend well with the sweet fruit flavor. This brew was constructed to appease the none beer dinking crowd.

Tap at brewery in Alpine, CA: Clear yellow, citrusy malty nose along with a rustic sweet flavor and a malty body. Nicer flavor, some citrus and light spices. Better. Creamy like those apricot cream bars from the freezer section.

(Draft: Alpine Beer Company in Alpine, CA) This is Willy conditioned with apricots, and it’s a good chick beer, brewed for those who claim they don’t like the taste of beer. It’s moderately fruity, apricot and peach mostly, both in the nose and flavor. The flavor of the wheat comes out later toward the finish as the apricot fades away a bit. It has the same dark yellow color and the same off-white head as the basic Willy, and is equally light bodied, again as required for the style. Not my type of beer, not bad for what it is.

Im not a fan of the style but this was doable. Alot of tropical fruit was present. I tasted apricot, mango, and pineapple. It has a sort of bready characteristic to it. A simple beer but not too bad

I hate beers that lie. This crap smells all kindsa yummy for basically being a bud-light w/a tsp. of apricot jam stirred in. A total waste of time, cash, and calories. Hey Alpine dudes, dropping a bath-bead in your bathtub doesn't turn tap-water to Evian. I bet the sisters down at Delta Kappa blah-blah would totally dig this!!!

You see..i filled up a growler of this bad boy for the folks at the SoCal gathering and when i tried a sample at the brewery it seemed to be much better than it was the next day at the gathering..but, shitzki...I'll melt my ratings together..it was a clear yellowy orange color and had a thin sheet of froth..a nice subtle apricot aroma led to a nice light and refreshing fruity apricot taste that seemed like the perfect beer for laying out at the beach..or even on a curb in a park with wild dawgs and wood paneled station wagons and flying beer bottles and dented cars.

From a Growler.Cloudy gold pour with a short lived white head. Nice apricot blast in the nose that doesnt seem to make it to the taste.Light bodied with a very slight bitterness in the finish.

Clear and Yellow with a foamy short living head. Boring with a lill fruit at first, yet doesn't follow up with anything. Its not like its not good, but i just dont dig this style, especially compared to what else they make at alpine.
