May 7, 2008 Draft at Flying Saucer. Nice orange/brown color with a thin head. Big fruity nose. Obviously a lot of fruit tastes make up most of the character, and I was actually surprised to learn it’s make from a "strong IPA" as I didn’t pick up a significant hoppy bitterness. More so than many fruit beers, but certainly nothing like in the 60 Minute. For a style I’m generally not too fond of, this one is good and would make a nice change of pace beer, though I doubt I’d ever have more than 1 at a time. The wife likes it, which is always a plus, too.

May 6, 2008 Pretty good, I was hoping for more of an IPA though. Kind of somkey flavor to it. Not an IPA flavor at all. Very little apricot is present, if they didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t know it was there. No alcohol presence. Surprisingly light bodied.

May 4, 2008 Pours golden orange with a good sized white head. Aroma is some hops but mainly fruit. Flavor is a bit of hops in the beginning but quickly followed by the sweetness of the apricots. Overall a pretty good brew but it did get a bit harsh as it warmed up.

May 3, 2008 Updated: Mar 8, 2009good lacing on the head, mango and apricot on the nose with the apricot taking over in the taste. -- rerate. pours clear golden orange color. apricot aroma easy to distinguish, but no taste of hops in the flavor. Comes off as a flat fruit beer. Okay, but not great.

May 2, 2008 ’08 Bottle: Pours a translucent gold color with a sizeable white head. Immediately the floral hops hit like Tyson in his prime...only to be followed by an uppercut of fresh apricots and other citrus notes...finally a left hook of pale malts take this down and out. Very good brew, and much better fresh since the only other time I’ve had it, it was a two year old bottle.

May 1, 2008 Pours distinct orange with yellow and brown hues. Clear with large white head. Large aroma of florial hops. Big hop flavor right away with stong fruit flavors, maltyness followed by a dry hoppy finish. Unique beer.

Apr 30, 2008 Draft @ Brewpub: Clear amber body w/ a small off-white head, leaves some light lacing behind. Aroma is sweet apricot w/ some light hops. Flavor is sweet w/ a bit of sourness to it as well. Apricot & a nice hop bite, very similar to the aroma. Okay, can’t say I was too crazy about it though.
