Commercial Description:
An easy-drinking wheat beer is light in color and body...perfect for the warmer weather. In crafting this fine ale, we add many pounds of real apricot fruit to create a "secondary fermentation." This creates a gentle wheat beer with just a hint of apricot flavor in the finish. A very drinkable, mildly fruity ale.

Appearance: Pours a clear, light golden body with a small, fizzy white head. Lightly effervescent. Smell: Perfumy aroma of apricot-flavored bubblegum and malted wheat. Taste: Juicy apricots and wheat malts with a modest sweetness. A slight bitterness before the abrupt finish. That’s it, folks. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Fizzy carbonation. Drinkability: One of those beers that’s just not for me.

Pours a clear deep golden with a spotty-lacing froth of white head. Aroma of sweet sugary apricots and a touch of pale malt. Body starts effervescent and semi-sweet with an earthy, citric apricot flavor and finishes thinner, drier and slightly buttery. Needs a fuller, sweeter body.

This beer was terrible...so bad it made me sign up for this site. It has the smell of flavored water; you know that fake chemicalish apricot smell. The color was nice, not much of a head. The flavor matched the chemical apricot/peach and overpowered anythign else. There’s a touch of wheat in the background and I couldn’t sense any hops anywhere. I think Ithaca would be well served to drop this from their line-up

Poured a clear pale yellow color with an off-white head. Big apricot aroma and flavor. Sweat and fruity. If you like fruity beers you will probably like this one. Nothing wrong with it other than not something I can drink much of

On tap. Skanky fruit jelly aroma. Pungent and of compost. Pours a hazed gold with some white head. Flavor is an overly tangy, piquant biting fake apricot flavor. There’s some sickly sweet malt, but not really any character or significance. Finishes with a note of too old peaches. Not good.

Bottle. Pours a light golden color with a medium white head. Aroma of apricots and malt. Taste is semi sweet of apricot, light hops and wheat. Has a fruity clean finish. Simplly a nice, easy to drink brew.
