Ithaca Apricot Wheat

Brewed by Ithaca Beer Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Ithaca, New York USA

tap Light yellow, clear pour with virtually no head. Thin nose of apriocots, bread and other citrus. Really thin taste, though not too sweet which is the downfall of others in the style. Slight bitter finish

Tap at Barcade: Hazy light golden with a white film of head. Mild aroma of light pale grains- a touch of fruity esters and soft subtle apricot (not overwhelming or sweet). Soft velvety carbonation. Mild flavor as well. Some soft apricot flavors mesh with grainy wheat notes and muted yeast flavors. More grains are apparent on the back (a bit cereal like). Simple, vague and macro feeling.

Pours copper golden with a small white head. Aroma is nice and fruity, but overall a bit cloying. Same goes for the flavor, and I’ve found this with all apricot based beers so far. The apricot is certainly present, but quickly becomes a bit sharp and cloying. Palate is slightly tart and a bit acidic.

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured a clear orange color with a moderate frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Medium sweet fruity wheat aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and lively carbonation. Medium sweet fruity flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Soft fruity summer session beer.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is of apricot, wheat, and not much else. Flavor is similar. Pretty sweet on the finish of this one from the apricots. Not really that good.

bottle at the deli at a meet the brewers event. the beer pours a gold color with a white head. the aroma is of wheat and fruit. Taste is sour at first ut the finish is bitter and not that good hoppy bitter just a bitter taste. I was very excited to taste this beer and it let me down.

12oz bottle-pours a big off white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is lemon, OK some apricot, bready. Taste – I want to say sour/tart fruit, but over taken by BAD. Yeast, metallic/spice hops. Taste is thin but mouth feel has some syrupy. Thanks jwc215 for picking this up. Will try to do this again. 091025 -rerate 2.8

On tap at the Ginger Man: A very pale and light beer with a truly fantastic head. Very sweet aromas, so sweet, a little like cake, it is adorable. Like a baby. A little more savoury in the mouth with good light cereals. Not much there to begin with but it leaves the cutest pink flavours rolling around. Such a sweet wee beer.
