Dunedin Apricot Peach Ale

Brewed by Dunedin Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
Dunedin, Florida USA

Cloudy gold with some orange and peach hues with a cottony, below average looking white head. Smells artificial peach and apricot, however more apricot. Floral, mimosa, watery. Sweet up front, then quickly tart and soda water, dry hops. Aftertaste is peach and water. Bottle given to me generously by Matta during my trip to Ybor City, FL 7/9/04

Too much fruit here. I don’t mind a good fruit beer, but this is too much. I think someone made this so the women can drink it on the beach and still remember that they are drinking beer, because this has a defined kick to the end of it.

Hazy pale orange with a small head. It has a great peach aroma with apricot taking the second possition. I would have expected apricot to be more upfront, but nice none the less. It’s sweet and fruity early and then a bit bitter as it settles to a sour malt flavor. It sits a little to sour for me, but it does get points for its wonderful aroma.

Hazy yellow, white head. A little wheaty, noticible apricot and peach. Pretty fruity overall, the peach and apricot battling for supremacy. Pleasant, but one dimensional with the fruit.

Thanks to Matta for sending this in a fine trade!!! This looks like a wheat beer when poured. Huge white head, some haziness and a medium yellow color. The aroma is to me more of the Peach than of the Apricot, but it’s a fruitbasket in any case. The flavor is pleasantly fruity with a smooth easy drinking palate. Fruit beers are not my favorite style, but this is not bad. For a fruit beer lover, this would be a gem!!

Strong apricot aroma, light apricot taste. More of an ale than a fruit beer. The base beer is lightly bittered so there’s little to get in the way of the fruit. Decent brew. Thanks, MattA.

Thanks for Matta for trading this bottle to me. If you like Apricots you’ll love this beer. Apricots to me are ok. Poured a cloudy orange color with a pretty good sized head. Tasted and smelled apricots, duh. Had a slight wheat taste to it also. Good summer beer. Something I wouldn’t personally seek out but it was worth the try.

Aroma: strong scents of apricots and peaches, flowers, earthiness, and sugars.
Appearance: cloudy yellow, foamy head, floaters.
Flavor: dry, bitterness, smells better than tastes, slight graininess, slight peach/apricot flavors, kind of like a flavored wheat beer.
Palate: very smooth, light, and crisp--good summer beer. Froathy head.
