Mar 26, 2009 Updated: Mar 28, 2009On tap at the Ginger Man. Nice aroma and a good balance at first blush give way to a fruity tartness that rips your throat out as you swallow. Was glad to finish the 4.5oz serving quickly, will not drink again. Final analysis: strong alcopop flavour with zero sweetness.

Mar 25, 2009 nose of bready malt and subtle fruit, apricots specifically apperance is copper. flavor is very well balanced, wonderul biscuity malt with no cloying malt sweetness. apricots are present but far from disturbing levels as seen in some similar beers. this is the improved version of magic hat #9 and one million other horrible fruit beers that cant find the balance of fruit, hops and malt. fruit is simple and clean and far from overwhelming, very pleasant and nearly sessionable.

Mar 25, 2009 Poured hazy yellow with a fluffy white head. Aroma of lemon and apricots. Some apricot flavor with a pine and citrus bitterness. Not bad.

Mar 25, 2009 Bottle shared with Steve. Definitely not what I was expecting. I thought there would be more of apricot and hop flavors than there was. Overall not bad kinda tart.

Mar 24, 2009 I love everything DOGFISH. everything besides this. Not impressed. No real apricots taste no real hoppy flavor. Kinda boring. wanted to move on to my next selection after the first sip.

Mar 22, 2009 Pours bright amber with finger thick cream colored head. Sweet bread and apricot nose and flavor with a fresh bread influence standing out in the finish. Quite easy drinking.

Mar 21, 2009 I’m not really a big fan of this one. It has strong scent of malts with very little hops. I can hardly pick up the apricots. Tastes of bitter hops and malts. Has a very little hint of fruit but nothing at all to be considered a fruit beer. Aftertaste leaves an unpleasant bitterness having me wonder why Dogfish Head would put such a product out there.
