Pyramid Audacious Apricot Ale

Brewed by Pyramid Breweries
Style: Fruit Beer
Portland, Oregon USA

The nose is very 1-dimensional apricot. Pours a hazy golden caramel color. Once again, not a very complex taste. Apricot, mangoes, with a hint of grain in the finish. Has a sort of syrupy body. This is a tasty beer in small desert doses. Probably would be good in the summer. It just needs the sweetness toned down and a little more complexity.

This is ok, but I don’t find it very enjoyable. It is cloudy gold with an orange hue, thin off-white head that steadily dissipates to a thin ring. The aroma is dried apricots, pumpkin, and hint of grain and dough. The taste is tart, dry apricot with fizzy mineral water at first with a real, long, cracker finish along with dry apricot element. It gets tiresome fast and it’s downright awful with foo, being very ominated by the unpleasant apricot-mineral water tatse. Alone, it’s drinkable and a bit refreshing, but not something I’d ever choose to have.

Orangey hazy colour with a decent sized head. Aroma is wheaty with noticeable apricot. Nice smoothness but a touch sweet with apricot. Finishes with medium stickiness.

The Pyramid Apricot Weizen pours an orange-golden color and smells obviously of apricot. However, the flavor is awful and you’ll have a bitter fruit taste in your mouth for a lot longer than you’d want to deal with. The palate was light and highly unimpressive; overall a lack luster beer that should be put down and retired

This is a good call if you’re having a party and want to loosen up the un-beer-nerd girls a little. Not my cup of juice, but it’s been around for years so it must be a hit amongst the ladies. It’s as advertised. Sweet, dry and not much else.

Pours orange, Smells of fruit. Has a fruity apricot taste, very tasty. I like how it is unfiltered. Would buy again.

Hazy orange. Aroma is apricot syrup with light wheat notes. Medium to light body, sweet apricot flavor. Decent.

Sampled initially as part of BJCP training session, followed up with a solo bottle. Light cloudy orange, decent initial head dies quick. Aroma is clearly apricot, almost but not quite to the point of cloying. The aroma actually blends nicely into a nice wheaty flavor. Apricot up front, wheat on the finish. Fairly dry too, which is nice in such a pronounced fruit beer. Not bad.
