Commercial Description:
A refreshing and delightful ale with the subtle flavor and aroma of apricots. A wonderful change from the ordinary. This is not a sweet fruit beer.

Orange haze color, smells very sweet. Nice smooth peach, apricot taste with a good balance of hops. Mild flavoring nice for a hot summer afternoon when you want something lighter.

Pours a clear pale gold, with a touch of orange tint. Head is fluffy and white, emitting a light apricot and crisp hop aroma. Light maltiness to the nose, as well. Flavor is very similar to Magic Hat #9, but with a bit more emphasis on the apricot. Body is very light, the flavor is very clean, and I'd definitely like this as a summer, mid July type of beer. It'd be great for the beach or working around the yard. Flavor is mild, fruity, and light, but with enough to keep me interested. Good.

Great apricot colour of dark orange with a slight red colour. Nice smell with some apricot and peach scents. Weird flavour at first, the carbonation hits too hard, and all flavours are almost impossible to detect. The aftertaste is not reminiscent of beer at all, no malt or hops. Some apricot and fruit flavours emerge when you continue to drink, but there is not enough flavour coming through to make it a good beer. A better Apricot Ale (even in New York) is by Ithaca.

Slightly hazy with a light orange hue. Huge head that diminshed to a thin foam with nice lacing. Fairly strong nose of apricot, peach, grain and others. Medium-thin bodied, fairly creamy feel, slight apricot flavor, slight bitterness, grainy malt, slight stale bread flavor. Not bad but needs to pull out of that "slight" rut. Nothing to write home about. Add some more body and some nice hop presence and this could be something IMO. Points for potential.

Fruity, yet dusty tasting as if it were made from mealy fruit. Not the greatest fruit beer out there.

This deep amber gold beer was topped with a thick head. A strong apricot aroma with very slight malt undertones hit the nose with the opening of the bottle. the smooth slightly sweet malt flavor is accented by apricot and finished hoppy.
