Jun 24, 2009 12oz brown glass pry-top. Neck date-stamped "Bottled on 02-03-09."
Quick review: Aromas of sour apricots, sour peach and pilsner-like funky hops. Palate is crisp with tart acidity and flavors of sour white peach, sour apricot and some hop oil. There’s some of that sweet-tart sugar content there, and a little biscuit-esque malt character trying to sneak in underneath the quick drying out of the hop leaves. Solid. Better interpretation of apricot beer than that "other" one (i.e. real fruit).

Jun 23, 2009 Very mild and fruity. Good carb and nice palate. I generally dislike fruit beers but this one is very good.

Jun 23, 2009 Being poured at Made in the Shade 2009. Pours a deep amber/copper with decent-sized fluffy white head. Aroma is very fruity - lots of citrus hops and some apricot come through. I was pretty amazed at how well the fruit and hops worked together. Very refreshing.

Jun 22, 2009 Pours darker than i expected, a dark copper with a very small white head. The nose holds lots of citrus hops, along with apricot and peach. Aroma is very fruity, with the apricot definitely coming through, though the hop bitterness is still clearly evident. There is a bit of caramel and barnyard in there as well. Solid palate, great choice for a summer brew- interesting and full, but still drinkable.

Jun 20, 2009 On tap at Mahars. Pours very thick with a good head. Aroma is crap with a ton of fruit. Flavor is apricots and shitty hops, not for me.

Jun 20, 2009 Lighter on the hops than I expected (especailly from Dogfish Head), but what’s there provides a nice balance to the fruit flavors. Excellent summer drinking.

Jun 18, 2009 An interesting balance of hop and fruit. A very mild IPA (especially for DFH) and apricot that it refreshing; natural ingredients are nice so this doesnt end up tasting syrupy. Would be interested to try a higher hopped version of this beer.
