Pyramid Audacious Apricot Ale

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

12oz bottle from 24 variety pack: Pours a cloudy dark orange color, very strong apricot aroma overpowers anything else, medium-sized head quickly diminishing, got some sediment when I poured it, let it settle a bit before I drank, finely carbonated apricot flavor, overpowers other flavors, light taste, refreshing, slighty bitter aftertaste.

Pour is a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is deffinatly apricot. Flavor is also overpowering amounts of apricot, not that that is a bad thing. This beer puts the fruit in fruit beer. Reminds me of Grandma’s jam.

A very cloudy straw color with a nice white head that had good lacing. The taste is very sweet at first with a definate apricot taste and there is a bitter apricot after taste.

A pleasing fruit beer, with a slightly bitter apricotty aftertaste, not sweet tasting at all. Hazy pale amber color,probably due ti the Weisen part of the beer. Not much of a head.

Bottle: Straw in color, somewhat hazy, thin fizzly white head, spotty lacing, light carbonation.   Freeze dried apricot/peach nose.   Reminds me of that Post cereal that has the peach bits in it.   Moderate wheaty flavor, defnite apricot/peach aspect, somewhat artificial.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Fairly clean finish, very soft apricot lingers for quite a while (bonus point).   The weizen aspect of this beer is fairly light, but rather it be a weizen than a pale.

Very good beer. A bit to sweet for my taste. Amber in color with nice frothy white head. Goes down smooth with somewhat of a light body to it.

Strong apricot aroma, pale cloudy straw color, light biscuit-malt hints, lots of lemon, surprisingly not sweet, which was a nice surprise. Still, the apricot overwhelms any subtler elements that might be in there.

12oz Bottle: Mine said Apricot Ale, but whatever. Anyway, this one wasn’t too bad. Pours a nice golden/orangy color - cloudy. Smells strongly of apricot - very robust. Taste leaves a little to be desired. Typical weak fruit taste that most beers in this genre have. Not sure what was going on with the flavor - almost like it was changing flavors in my mouth from Budweiser to Apricots. Weird. Finishes rather smooth, but with a funky aftertaste. Ok, but not really recommended.
