Ottos Apricot Wheat

Brewed by Ottos Pub & Brewery
Style: Fruit Beer
State College, Pennsylvania USA

22 oz bottle, from brewery. Pours a clear dark gold body with a very small, thin, and fizzy off-white head that all but vanished immediately. Pretty nice natural smelling apricot nose over a light wheat and pale malt base. The flavor is pretty nice up front, but it gets a bit weird on the finish. An odd cereal grain note comes out a little too strong. Still very natural fruit taste though. Light to medium bodied with a bit of a sugary sweet stickiness on the finish. Overall pretty decent for what it is, it won’t knock your socks off, but I can drink it.

22oz. Bottle: Aroma of apricot. Poured orange/amber in color with a small, loose, off-white head that disappeared. Slightly hazy. Lightly sparkling. Flavor is medium to heavily sweet. Tastes of apricot and slight wheat. Light to medium body. Tingly, lightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Apricot and wheat finish is lightly dry.

22oz bottle from treyrab, big thanks to Trey as usual. Rating #32. Very clear light amber color. Aroma was big apricots, more like an apricot extract, but pretty good. Flavor was similar, apricot flavoring dominated everything else, sweet and pretty drinkable, not too bad. (1019)

Bottle Pours a nice clear amber with a fizzy deminishing off white head. Very limited lacing. Has a good aroma of floral, apricots, and a touch of wheat. Has a good carbonation. The flavor is refreshing with good amounts of apricot, and fruit. Has a watery texture. A light body. The finish is good and sweet. The aftertaste is okay. Not a bad beer to share with friends.

This beer was really weird, somewhere between a lambic and a wheat beer but leaning more towards a lambic. The 22oz bottle was poured into a wheat beer glass and produced an off-white head that quickly dissipated and a clear light amber body (unlike a true wheat beer which should be more translucent). Sweet apricot dominated the aroma and taste. Very light, much like the other lambic’s I’ve had.

22 oz. bottle; thanks to adrian910ss for the trade; pours clear orange with thin white head; primarily dried apricots on the nose; texture is thin with flavors of soft, dry apricots; some apples and other dried fruit too; also some lemons and stale wheat

Bomber from suzygreenberg. Pours a slightly murky orangish light brown to golden with little head. Nose is huge on the apricot and then some yeasty wheatness. Very inviting and almost desert like. Light prickly palate with lots of apricot and wheat. Taste pretty nice, but maybe a bit ’artificial’ on the fruit. Enjoyable and I would drink a bomber to myself, but nothing I would seek out. Thanks Ben.

Apricot extract nose. A little tart fruit. Golden pour, no head. Apricot flavors, a little wheat, and mostly apricot. Light and a little fruity. Thanks ben.
