Sea Dog Apricot Wheat Beer

Apricots, too good to be true, on the nose.A light beer with a slight wheat finish. Just another too fruity beer.

Bottle, the beer had a nice apricot aroma but the flavor was more like dishwater = i.e. not nice at all.

12 oz bottle. Doing this one from memory, as it has been a few years. Aroma was strong apricot. The flavor was a bit sweet but not bad overall.

Appearance is a transparent bright golden color. No head, little carbonation. Looks like any B/M/C lager. A pleasantly dry-sweet combo of the only slightly sweet apricot and the heavy, wit (Belgian wit style) wheat. Apricot is marginally too sweet, but salvaged by a sourness that prevents this from becoming undrinkable. The wheat also helps a little. It’s closer to Smirnoff/Zima than a beer. Needs more wheat balance. Watery and thin, which is appropriate for style. Ya don’t want it too thick. The wheat is good. Could do without the saccharine aftertaste.

Pours a deep golden, hazy body with a fading off-white head. Aroma is strong of apricots. Flavor is a touch more subtle.

Source:12 oz bottle.
Glass:Pint.
Appearance:Hazy gold pour with a thin off white head.
Aroma:Apricots and wheat.
Flavor:Apricot syrup. Man this was sweet.
Palate:Light body with solid carbonation.
Overall:Not a very appealing beer in terms of taste. Not refreshing due to the overwhelming stickiness and not full bodied enough to enjoy otherwise.

Hardly any head. Aroma is very very nice and pleasant - strongly apricot. Unfortunately, the aroma is the best thing about this beer. It is otherwise primarily water, I would say. Still good and better than a lot of beers though.

Bottle, under the Kennebunkport name. Super sweet nectary apricot, effervescent golden amber with a small ring of foamy head around the glasses edge. Sweet apricot water with a slight mettallic tang and a sour finish. A slight sweet lingering taste. Highly carbonated. Odd.
