Fitgers Apricot Wheat

Brewed by Fitgers Brewhouse
Style: Fruit Beer
Duluth, Minnesota USA

On tap at the Fitgers Brewhouse in Duluth, MN, pours a hazy golden yellow brew with a fast disolving white head. Sparce lacing and sticky. Aroma has a nice balance of wheat apricots, some powdery dust, and grassy hops. Taste is light body, carbonated, smooth and sweet. Finish has a nice wheat/weizen taste and lightly bitter.

Cloudy yellow. Apricot aroma. Sweet Turkish apricot flavor. Light orange as well. Well carbonated. A decent fruit beer.

Hazy yellow. Glorious apricot--I love it when the fruit really shines through in a authentic (not artificial) way. Fresh, yummy, drinkable. Fizzy. I’m such a sucker for a well-made fruit beer. (on tap at brewpub)

Hazy Orange/Gold Coloring with Big White Head. Nice Apricot Aroma. Little Grainy but Apricot Notes Remain Dominant on the Tongue. A Little Dry Wheat Comes Out Towards the End. Overall, a Decent Brew.

On tap at the Fitgers Brewpub in Duluth MN. Excellent apricot nose. Sweet with a hazy golden body. Faint white head. Apricot dominates a faint wheat taste in the body.

Aroma was appealing. Cloudy golden look. Quite thin on the palate. Wheat was almost absent. Not much nose, fairly boring.

On-tap at the brewpub- review notes from 2003: Color is a solid cloud of pale yellow, fluffy solidly thick white head thats sits about a pencil width high and sustains well throughout consumption and leaves lace sticking in tiny spots. Aroma is of a fresh light apricot and apricot skins, quite nice, I just so happen to really like apricots so the smell was dead on, just a bit to light, I want more. Anyways...taste has fluffy wheat grain sweetness thats nice and soft and there’s a milding sense of fresh apricot and has a nice velvety apricot skin dryness in the finish thats light and playful. Pleasant, smooth, and easy sweetness with a close to medium body feel and light wheaty texture. Refreshing and a bit on the lighter side and has a nice drinkablity, its just a tad shy of memorable. Getting close to the Pyramid version which I really like and don’t mind have’n around for beatin’ the easy summer heatin’.

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.
