Apr 7, 2008 YOu never know what you are going to get with a fruit beer, so I had low expectations. They always seem to be better when the fruit is not the main attraction, and that is true to a certain point here. Its like Magic Hat #9 on steroids, way hoppier and sharper. My only issue is it doesnt look good. Uncool bottle and no head.

Apr 7, 2008 Bottle. Brownish amber, little head. Fruity, citric hop aroma. Sweet with a light touch of apricot and jam. Hard, clean, simplistic malt profile. Lingering bitter finish. Complex interplay between fruit and hops.

Apr 6, 2008 1st impresions: conflicting flavors, sweet apricot, bitter. Prickly sensation, like bitter fuzzy peach skin. Very strange sweetness; if it’s apricot it tastes like apricot syrup, which keeps this from being enjoyable.

Apr 5, 2008 Updated: Apr 7, 2008On Tap @ the Maproom. Dark clear amber pour with some head. Aroma of tangy fruit. The taste is of a fruity apricot carbonated american ale. Not all that special to me. Don’ t know why this is a Fruit beer should be a pale ale.

Apr 5, 2008 On tap at Map Room, Chicago. Probaby closer to a pale ale than a head-on fruit beer. Strong hints of apricot, but nothing overpowering. After your palate gets used to the apricot, it’s pretty much a straight-forward pale ale with moderate hops and body-- nothing too big or heavy here.
