Melbourn Brothers Apricot

Brewed by Melbourn Brothers (Samuel Smith)
Style: Lambic - Fruit
Stamford, England

Looks like a dirty golden colored liquid. Holding up to a light source makes it look abit better, but not alot. Slight head with almost no retention and minimal lacing. Smells much better than it looks. Very nice ripened apricot aroma. A little bit of malt peeks through. Smells sweet. Very pleasant, fresh, ripe apricot taste. Slight butterey taste. Just a touch of apricot skin-like sourness. No hint of alcohol. Drier than expected from the scent. Nice medium body. Not too heavy, yet not watery thin. It’s alright. Could drink many of these, but I think that I’d rather have a Lindemans Peche.

This beer from Belbourn Brothers pours a nice, golden brown/amber with a transparent quality. It’s very carbonated but produces no head, although it has a decent film. It smells like apples and has an overly fruity scent to it. Though, you can’t really detect the apricot. It basically tasted like apple cider. It has a thin consistency with very little body. But, it has a brilliant taste - I could easily chug this with how good it tastes. As noted before, the texture is quite thin. There’s nothing else to note aside from the fact is has a nice fizz as you drink it.

absolutely no head and very closely resembles iced tea. It is extremely carbonated at first but fades over time. The smell is pretty much exactly what I expected: apple cider, apricots, peaches. The taste is a little worse than what I expected but also not bad and resembles greatly a decent alcoholic cider with a little more kick and tartness.

Taste and aroma are apple juice and apricots (shocking). A bit tart but not significantly so, with low acidity. Kind of a wimpy, chugable lambic. Not bad though.

Bottle. Pours an opaque copper body with a thin white head. Overly sweet with artificial apricot and peach y notes. Some light sour cider and vinegar notes. Eh.

I felt the need to eat an Atomic Warhead to balance out how horribly sour and gross this was.

pours golden with small head. smells of apricot and muscadine taste is sweet apricot.

Pours with not much head and a golden, lemon color body. Smells of muscat and vinegar. Flavor is overripe, apricot, muscat, vinegar, and sour. Finish is sweet and sour.
