Sea Dog Apricot Wheat Beer

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

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.

Bottle. Pours a golden body with a thin white head. Artificial fruit flavor, hints of berry and some citrus, very sweet and more like sugar and candy. Eh not so good.

Appearance: Pours a clear, dark gold body with a small-sized, white head. Smell: A scent of apricot flavoring with a distant, faroff note or two of tangy wheat. Taste: Lightly tangy, lightly sweet wheat malt. Fruit flaovring added provides an apricot taste. Just a touch of bitterness, though no appreciably hop flavors. Dry, thinning finish with a lingering taste of apricots. Eh, it’s a fruit beer. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A fruity beer that’s not too fruity, if you know what I mean. There’s enough beer underneath to remind you you’re not just drinking a spiked cup of fruit juice. Still though, it’s pretty far down on the list of fruit beers for me.

(bottle - 12 oz) Clear amber color with a thin white head. Aroma is very sweet and pleasant. A nice apricot flavor hits you instantly. Not much else besides the apricot. Flavor is light and refreshing. Almost tastes like a mixture of Sprite, wheat, and apricot. Finishes clean with a very light bitterness.

Eh it felt like I was drinking Apricot soda with a bit of wheat mixed in. Easy to drink, and refreshing I guess....

Golden wheat color with thick, foamy head. Burst of authentic apricot in the nose is pitch perfect. Full-bodied, with a remarkable apricot flavor that is exceptionally well-balanced by the wheat body. About as splendid a rendering of an apricot wheat that a brewer could attempt. One of the better fruit beers out there.

pours dark bronze with a decent frothy head. aroma is obviously apricots and peaches. flavor is somewhat yeasty, definitely closer to a hefe than the blueberry and raspberry. can definitely taste the stone fruit flavor that you would expect given the ingredents. nicely balanced sour aftertaste, but overall a bit too sweet. not bad at all.

Pours a golden orange pour. Aroma of plastic, nectar, and apricots. Flavor is a little too much apricot and not enough..well anything. The apricot tastes weird too like plastic and super concentrated apricot flavoring. Give me a ginger beer in the summer, this stuff had me cloyed my throat shut.
