Jul 11, 2004 Updated: Feb 6, 2005I enjoyed this one more than I thought I would. Pours light brown, with a small white head. Taste is heavy on the apricots. Well done. More apricot flavor than Dogfish’s Aprihop.

Jun 30, 2004 Like many fruit beers, the aroma was quite good but then the wheels came off. Good apricot aroma. Darkish clear gold with a thin head. Tangy, hoppy and the apricots aren’t overdone. A bit too tart and abrasive in the finish. Medium body.

Feb 2, 2004 Paid $1.39 for a 12-oz single.
Nice golden copper look (looks like Yuengling Traditonal Lager without a head).
Does have a NICE apricot scent- not some cheap extract flavoring they added to try to make it smell like what it's supposed to be.
Taste is between a 3 and 3.5. Nothing great here- has a small apricot taste, with the typical apricot bitterness, but for some reason, it doesn't overimpress me. Not saying it's bad, but it's not mindblowing.
Not a bad brew- if you like apricots (I do), but I've had better apricot brews. I'd buy this again though.

Jan 12, 2004 Had this at the Brewpub as my appetizer. Nose of citrus & pine. Light apricot tones are present also. Light sparkling golden amber. The thin white frothy head is quickly diminishing with light lacing. The brew starts spicy with a heavy acidic middle and a toasty apricot finish. The medium creamy and lively body feels slightly cloying at the finish. A very good fruit beer.

Dec 29, 2003 An unusual fruit beer. Sits very pale without a head. Kinda like M.J. Aroma is very pleasant. Apricots and plums come out in both the aroma and taste. Mildly sweet with light body. The problem is no carbonation to speak of. Leaves a sour finish.

Sep 28, 2003 Golden yellow body with a thin white head. No lacing.
Smells like apricots.
Apricot and malt (pils?) mixes nicely together. Sweet and slightly bitter finish. Nice lingering apricot finish.
Medium bodied but not a session beer.
