ryan (1707), Beltsville, Maryland, USA May 30, 2007 Clear, pale body with small white head. The aroma is apricot syrup, sweet and a bit medicinal. The flavor is apricot, fairly sweet with some caramels and floral. Medium/light body is a bit flimsy. ClarkVV (3547), Allston, Massachusetts, USA Apr 20, 2007 Updated: Apr 21, 2007A couple of draught samples at the brewery on 4/8/07 Hazy peach-apricot-gold color, with a small, cascading head that is retained fairly well. Strong diacetyl, and chewy apricot skin in the aroma. Light caramel and gooey vanilla iced cream as well. Very light tartness on the end is a bit unsettling mixed with caramel and diacetyl. Medium strength, no alcohol and a very rich aroma from the malt Kind of like a british pale ale, the apricots didnt come out as well as Eric said he would have liked, leaving it almost like an extremely estery English bitter, replete with lots of diacetyl. Creamy, partially nitrogenated body it seems. Very sweet with only a light, light tartness and some vanilla-caramel lingering. I actually just thought of it as an English bitter and drank it pretty easily that way, though it’s still a bit sweet and lightly tart, giving it some similarities to Lindemans Peche xav33 (313), Midland, MI, Michigan, USA Apr 5, 2007 Kuhnhenn Apricot P.D.
64 oz growler
Moderate pour in an English pint
Unknown brewing (recent?), enjoyed 2 days after the growler pour, 04/07
Poured a clear dark copper with a large fluffy slightly off white head with good lacing.
Smelt of strong apricot and caramel.
Taste was upfront moderate sweet and lightly sour apricot, light sweet caramel and faint bitter grassy hops followed by more of the same accompanied by a light bitter doughy yeast on an average length finish.
Palate was light bodied, watery, softly carbonated.
Overall, a tasty fruit forward beer. The latter part of the name works too... JMFG (1177), Florida, USA Mar 29, 2007 Yes, I know everyone’s thinking I was drinking the Peach Apricot PD, and not a new beer, but I wrote down what was printed on the drink list and it said Apricot Panty Dropper. Slightly cloudy orange with a thick white head. Light to medium in body. Taste is an interesting fruity flavor, interesting in that the taste is much more akin to the actual taste experience of an apricot or peach. The taste was slightlly acidic and tart along with some sweet, rather than a one-dimensional sweetness often described as "fruity". Aroma is mildly sweet, like melon or peach.
