Oct 20, 2007 Clear, reddish gold color, big big head. Strangely sweet in the nose, perhaps due to the apricots? Not like a typical IPA, certainly. To me, the apricot is a hindrance. It feels like the sweetness of the apricot kills that hop bite. Certianly a drinkable beer, just not blown away.

Oct 19, 2007 Beautiful bright amber color with a decent long lasting head. Dry hopped with a slight apricot overtones in aroma and taste. Tastes like an IPA with a slight apricot twing to it.

Oct 9, 2007 Pours a golden amber with a decent head and a light, sweet aroma with definite notes of apricot. Light, fresh apricot taste with a light tartness and some hops. Thing body with decent carbonation. A nice, fresh tasting beer without the off-flavours characteristic in less successful endeavours. Many thanks to G for the taste!

Oct 1, 2007 This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Sep 29, 2007 Updated: Apr 11, 2008Nice rich slight cloudy amber pour, but transluscent still with a big frothy offwhite almost peachy head. Smell is mild hops, sweet malt and light apricot. Bottle isn’t very new, so perhaps the smells have faded a bit. Taste is mildly hopped, slight bit of alcohol present, with a sweet apricot syrupy taste present too. Slightly more IPA like than pure fruit beer, which is a nice change. Mouthfeel is rich and has more body than expected. Overall a great fruit beer, a good IPA and one I’d like to definitely try again very fresh. One of my favorites from DFH.

Sep 22, 2007 12 oz.bottle. Pours a clear deep amber color with a small off white head. The aroma is fruity with citrus hops. Flavor is sweet and fruity with a backbone of caramel malts. Dry bitter finish. Medium/full body.

Sep 22, 2007 Pours a clear but darker amber with a half inch white head that falls fast. Nose is apricot yes, but not powerfully so. It is rather gentle but firm. Flavor is hoppy, but seems interfered with by something. I have to wonder if hops and apricots make a viable chemical mix. Feel is nice. When it first hit my tongue I thought...this one feels good. Nice level of bubble. I have to say I was a bit let down on trying this one. I don’t think I had any over the top expectations for this one, but I don’t feel like it really delivered anything serious. Nice to try, but never again.

Sep 17, 2007 Bottle. Bright, fruity apricot must initially on the nose. Dry grassy hops hiding behind the initial apricot assault. Pours rich copper. Barely any head. Dry, grassy hops at first fading into some nice, but not over the top fruity flavors, then finishing with a burst of hoppy dryness. The hops stick around for a while, too. Medium bodied.
