lumberjack (156), Michigan, USA Dec 29, 2008 Beautiful orange shade with a perfect white foamy head. Aroma is just apricot. Flavor is a bit over the top with the apricot, and nothing else comes through here. Good beer to try once, but unless your absolutely crazy about your apricots, once is all you’ll ever want it. nefarious (88), grand blanc, Michigan, USA Nov 20, 2008 decent pour with a small head and a cloudy orange color. awesome aroma! of surprise, surprise apricots. flavor is the same apricots with a little bitterness at the end. very watery finish. weak on the palate. about the only downfall here. this is fun stuff. session beer for sure. i likes. RickS95 (32), Evansville, Indiana, USA Oct 25, 2008 I was scared about this beer. It turns out I had nothing to worry about.
The beer pours a small, white head. Cloudy, unfiltered apricot in color. Obvious smell of apricots, but other fruits seemed present as well, strawberry maybe???
At best, only slight lacing. Very clean in mouth, almost like a fruit juice, not a beer with 5ish% alcohol.
In the finish, you notice the hops, but it’s nicely balance with the fruity sweetness.
Not something I’d want to drink a 6-pack of, but a great after dinner beer. machfive55 (109), Columbia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 20, 2008 Wow, I pulled this up and I’m surprised it did not rate much higher. The aroma was clean with apricot presence which I found to be unique. The apricot was right up front with this beer, not hidden but not overwhelming either. It is very clean finishes smooth with no aftertaste. I think the apricot blends well with the beer, it compliments it, but doesn’t take anything away. There is no hopiness, but that’s just fine in a fruit beer. Beardface (344), Eugene, Oregon, USA Oct 19, 2008 Pours prettily and that’s about it. Wheat and fruit in beer, not my favorite combo. Nothing special about this thing, the apricot flavor is a little too cloying as well.
