Pyramid Audacious Apricot Ale

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

Quite possibly the best fruit beer I have ever had. Very strong and appealing apricot aroma. Golden but cloudy in color as expected for an unfiltered brew. The apricot taste dominates all other flavors, with just a tinge of sweetness from the wheat. Fantastic on a hot summer day

12oz bottle share courtesy of fatty. Poured a medium and hazy yellow color with a small sized white head. Aromas of strong apricot (extract). Tastes of stong apricot (but not as strong as the aroma) and some wheat. Thin and watery body. If you like apricots, I guess you will like this one.

12oz. bottle Pours out a yellow or more of an apricot color with a white head. There is apricot tast in it with out a doubt.

at the pub...in a bottle...way too cold.. hard time finding the flavor... tasted like seltzer water with apricot... must try again in the right conditions... as far as fruitbeers go...wasnt overbearingly artificial (like liene berry...eee) however sam adams cherry wheat seems more together

Thanks to fatty. Pours a hazy golden with a small bubbly white head that did not sustain. Aroma was all APRICOT with maybe some wheat and grass. Flavor was watery, apricot, wheat and maybe some sweet malts. I really enjoy DFH ApriHop and even Magic Hat #9...so Apricot in my beer I can dig. But this...not so much.

If you want apricot in your beer, go for Magic Hat’s #9 over this one. I’ll assume this qualifies as beer. Appearance was nice orange-tinted, fairly clear beer with a mediocre initial head and a lacing that lasted for the entire drink. Way too strong an apricot flavoring and the aroma was substantial. I won’t return to this one unless the doctor orders apricots and the store doesn’t sell them or the juice.

Cloudy yellow/peach color. Aromas are are all apricot. Flavors are pretty much all apricot too. Doesn’t taste a whole lot like beer.

This beer pours a hazy orange/yellow color that actually reminded me a lot of an apricot itself. There was almost no head. The aroma is strong of apricot, to the point I couldn’t pick out much else. The flavor was also very strong of apricot, sweet, but not stickily so. Carbonation was too sharp for my taste, but it gave the beer a fizzy, fresh characteristic, good for late spring. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. The bartender had one bottle left and was trying to get rid of it, so I obliged. This makes a good compromise between a standard type beer and a fizzy malternative.
