4/26/05 12 oz. Reddish amber with small off white head. Mostly hop aroma. I guess I can talk myself into an apricot aroma. It does appear to have a mix of hop and apricot flavor with a decent malt background

Bottle. Pours a clear amber color with a good size head that leaves a nice lacing. Aroma of hops and fruit (apricots), and malt. Flavor is clean with a bit of fruit and spice. Has a semi sweet taste.The apricots are barely noticed but seem to take some of the hop bitterness and tone it down. I found this to be very enjoyable and easy to drink. Nice dry hop finish without the usual hop bitterness.

Pours a light copper color with a small white head. Could not smell any apricot till it warmed a bit, mostly hops in the nose with a bit of citrus. Taste was slightly sweet and again no apricot till it warmed up a bit. Finishes with a light bitter hop taste. This beer was very clean and refreshing. A very easy drinking beer.

Somewhat firey reddish orange pour. Creamy, staying head of yellowish white. Pretty straight aroma of apricots, sprinkled with granulated cotton candy sugar. Caramel and toasted malt strength a little on the back end. There’s a quiet rosy quality on the tongue that settles softly over the fruit, breathing a sweet fragrance into every sip. A bit papery. Clean enough, unfortunately, so as to seem chemically driven – particular hints of chlorine and something like windex. This swiftly takes a turn toward lavender and heather honey in an earthy finish. Under-carbonated and of light to medium weight. Needs a maltier bite.

Aroma is apricots and flowery hops. Flavor is a bit more subtle on the apricots and more focus on the hops. Kinda weird but interesting.

Not as good as I remembered from the last time. Poured with nice head. Expected a much stronger apricot and/or IPA smell than I found. Taste was nice but either apricot or classic DFH IPA taste could have been more prevalent.
