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.

12 oz bottle. Clear golden yellow with a small white head. Smelled of apricot and had some underlying aromas of wheat and malt. Flavor was mostly fruity and sweet with a faint hop bitterness. Light to medium body, actively carbonated and a sweet apricot finish. Not bad for the type of beer, not overly sweet but had a bit of a fake/extract fruit flavor.

Aroma and taste are heavily apricot. Slight bitterness in the finish. Med-light body with big carbonation. Not bad, but not something I’d seek out again.

pint glass: The palate is good, well carbonated and medium bodied... these qualities help to balance and wash the mouth clean of the strong apricot tones of the beer. Definitely real fruit used here, as I sense some bitterness where I expected artificial sweeteners.

Bottle. Pours cloudy orange with a thin off-white head. Aroma and flavor deliver exactly what they promise, apricot and wheat, and not in a cloying way. Not overly sweet, light to medium bodied, gentle and smooth. A nice fruit beer, very natural and subtle instead of just tons of fruit and sweetness.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with a small off-white head. Aroma is a bit of wheat and a lot of apricot - at least it seems like a natural flavor instead of the artificially-flavored beers I’ve seen. Taste is a wheat characteristic with a little sweetness, then it moves full-bore into apricot. It has a crisp and rather clean finish that I liked. It’s not spectacular by any means, but it’s an easy-drinking summer beer. There’s a place for those.

Pours a cloudy orange with some slight off-white head. aroma is of slight fruitiness and some wheat. Flavor is much of the same, Fruitiness and wheat, Pleasant but a little bland. Refreshing crisp finish

Hazy golden orange pour, thin almost not existent head. yeasty, with a very fresh sweet apricot aroma. Taste is very similar. The yeast and fruity apricot at front that holds out to a little fruity spice at the finish. Very easily drinkable and refreshing great in the warm weather. A reliable pleasure of mine.

Bottle sample. Cloudy orange pour with no head. Wheaty aroma with sugar and fruit. Sugary apricot flavor with a hint of welcome tartness.
