Sea Dog Apricot Wheat Beer

Brewed by Sea Dog Brewing (Shipyard Brewing Co.)
Style: Fruit Beer
Topsham, Maine USA

bottle. Golden with white head. A frech aroma of apricot, almost candy like. light body with a short after taste. No malt of hop to speak of. Not really a beer for beer geeks but might work on a hot summer day instead of a fruit drink.

Pours golden w/ a medium sized semi creamy froth that settles w/ good lacing. Aroma of fresh apricot jolly rancher. Light nectar w/ ample residual effers. Refreshingly fruity w/ no residual sweetness. It has that fresh apricot essence w/ a hard candy crispness. I notice a defined cereal nuance. The finish has a nice tartness and exits clean.

A nice aroma of peaches pours out of this bottle with an golden apple juice color.Flavor has some peach but tastes more like my wifes shampoo.Un impressed, bordering a drain pour.

Bottle. Beautiful golden color with brief off white head. Heavy sweetness in aroma with apricot / nectarine / peach tones. Not as sweet in taste as it smells with thin body, faint wheat undertones and a more citrusy / pineapple finish. Aftertaste reminiscent of cheap champagne.

(Bottle) Clear golden/pale orange colour with foamy, brief, white head. Lively, lots of carbonation, no lacing. Fruity, sweetish nose with distinct notes of dried apricots, passion fruit and pineapple. Fruity taste with dried apricots, orange, passion fruit and some underlying notes of bready malt. Not as sweet as expected, making the taste quite balanced. Rather thin body. Reminds me of the passion fruit softdrink of my childhood days, slightly drier though. Might work on a hot summer day, but to be honest, more alcopop character than beer character.

355 ml bottle. Crystal clear golden colour with some occational bubbles rising towards the surface. Small to medium-sized coarse off-white head. Refreshing apricot (or peach if you will) aroma. Light malty flavours, with hints of apricot. Unfortunately the flavour is rather watery and definitely lacking in complexity. Could have done with more maltiness.

Bottle. Deep golden and clear, with an off-white short-lived head. The apricot aroma feels synthetic, but it is not so dominating as in other fruit beers I have had. Some wheat charcter also comes through. Thin and watery. Finish is dry and somewhat bitter, with a strange aftertaste of canned fruit.

Aroma is apricot, Medium sized shortlasting white head on an apricotcolored body. Very crispy mouthfeeling that also is thick. Mostly taste apricot, some small bitternes.
