One of my first Dogfish beers. This one blends IPA and Apricots. The beer pours a light orange color. Once you take a drink it is an IPA with a fruity finish. Interesting idea from DFH.

I love this beer. Better on tap than in the bottle. The apricots are more pronounced in the tap version. The apricots produce a nice balance with the high level of hops as well as create a nice body and mouthfeel.

Dogfish Head calls this "a serious IPA" made with apricots and I think they’re right. In this case the apricots are an adjunct not a principal ingredient. It pours a bronzy amber, slightly hazy, with a persistant off-white, creamy head. Foam and lace linger on the glass as it recedes. I couldn’t detect any apricot in the aroma, which had notes of alcohol, fruit esters, cedar, grapefruit, herbs, slight yeast, and hops. No apricot in the taste either but it tasted wonderful. Light fruitiness, hefty, toasty malt, and a really tasty wallop of the whole leaf Amarillo and Warrior hops. Nicely bittered. Clean, refreshing fruity/hoppy/citrusy aftertaste. Nice mouthfeel for the style. If it was up to me I’d characterize this as an IPA with apricot instead of a fruit ale. I know, "you say tomato...." Excellent brew.

As a lot of people have said starts off sweet ends hoppy. Really a good summer beer. dark goldenn color the fruitiness is perfect not too much enough for you to notcie it before you remember drinking beer. COOL!

Great aroma, very good warm weather beer
