Fitgers Apricot Wheat

[Tap] Part of the brewpub sampler. Pours a cloudy dark golden color with a nice amount of white head. Fantastic lacing. Aroma is heavy on apricot. Lighter notes of vanilla were present as well. Taste includes lots of real-tasting apricots. Notes of nutmeg, vanilla and cinnamon were in there as well. Very nice body and great balance for the style. Very tasty!

Pours a hazy orange gold with thick white head. Aroma is definitely apricot and sugar. Flavor is mild apricot/yeast with a sweet spice. Well-balanced.

Growler pour. Hazy orange colored pour, little carbonation and rich apricot aroma. Flavor is funky yeasty wheat, apricot and finishes a little on the sour side. One of my favorite apricot beers, I just wish I didn’t have to drive 2-3 hours to pick it up.

Sample at the brewpub. Clear dark gold pour. Sweet apricot aroma. Big apricot flavor, some light malts, very smooth, I seem to of had alot of smooth beers on this trip.

TAP: cloudy yellow/gold pour, aroma of apricot - very nice. Wheat, apricot, and carbonation on taste. Nice brew.

Tap at the pub. Lots of apricot in the nose. Fairly sweet, with aproicot and bread coming threw. Im not huge on the fruit aspect of this, but does have that apricot jam aspect that is tasty in small doses.

Draft. Arborfest 2008. Lush apricot aroma with traces of cantaloupe and honeydew. Pours a cloudy bright light orange. Flavor of creamy wheat esters and apricot marmalade. Medium bodied with spritzy carbonation. A dusty, dry hay-like finish distracts from the simple and refreshing qualities of the beer.

3 oz. pour, on tap at the brewhouse. This was the seventh of 9 Fitger’s beers I tried on 4-4-08. Aroma of apricot in all forms (fresh, canned, nectar). Sweet, honey smell. Pours a slightly hazy pale gold. Tastes exactly like the name implies: apricot nectar crossed with a light American wheat ale. It tastes fine, but apricot nectar alone would be better. Apricot skin flavor as well. Light body. Smooth and lively in the palate.
