In the bottle from Total Beverage Denver. Pours golden with a huge white head. Large carbonation bubbles. Intense apricot aroma. The flavor ia a big initial wash of apricots, then follows with a strong tart sourness. Great mouthfeel for a fruit beer.

Filtered golden beer with white head. Smells faintly like apricots, and really does taste like them. Like the strawberry version, this beer is both strongly sweet and strongly sour, and interesting combination that continues until the very end. would be good with a dark chocolate bar.

Bottle. Very fruity nose. A little less in taste. Very sweet in taste. Ciderlike. Different, not my favorite type of beer, but interesting.

Apricot nose. Traditional lambic sweet and sour flavor, almost some ciderlike notes, though. Far too sweet for me.

12oz. bottle. Clear golden color with a medium sized white head that quickly dissipated. Quite nice aroma, actually. Reminds me of apricot jam. Flavor was much more disappointing. The apricot taste was very strong, and not all that bad, but it was extremely sweet. I get absolutely no tartness in this, which is what I was hoping for to counter balance the sweetness. A bit of tartness and this could have been quite good. As it is, it was a sweet, syrupy wine cooler. I did really like the aroma though.

From a bottle poured nice hazy golden color with a good amount of head produced by the shape of the bottle. Nice apricot flavor, not that tart.
