Sea Dog Apricot Wheat Beer

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

12oz bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a fizzy off white head. Big apricot aroma, flavor was like sugar free carbonated apricot juice. A nice summer beer for the ladies......ha.

This beer pours a golden yellow color with a huge aroma of peach and apricots, but the flavor is a bit weaker on the apricot flavor. It is still sweet and somewhat malty, but unbalanced. Fizzy beer with dry finish. No lacing on the glass. Anh, an iffy beer.

Poured from a 12oz bottle with a light amber sheen. What little fizz there was disappeared almost immediately. The aroma is definitely fruity, like an apricot jam (where’s my toast?). The sweet tart apricot flavor isn’t quite as robust as the aroma, but that’s probably a good thing. The flavor is nicely rounded ... if you like fruit beers, this is a decent offer. Not too obtuse. Only downside is the lack of body here.

Smelled like strong apricots, probably not what you want a beer to smell like but it was a really good smell overall. Light head, the color was unlike any beer seen, pretty much orange. Tasted like apricots and seltzer water. Didnt taste bad but a bit light for my liking. Palate was definately the best part, very easy to drink. Overall I wouldnt say its a bad beer, about what I expected out of an apricot beer...now I’m gonna go try the rest of the "Motley Crue Variety Pack"!

Bottle. Exactly what you’d expect from Shipyard. Artificial apricot aroma. Flavor is Pez-like, light and airy. No maltiness worth noting. Could be appealing to a twelve year old kid and that’s about it. Total bullshit.

Bottled as Kennebunkport Apricot Wheat. Color is a fairly light amber/gold with a minimal head and a nice number of carbonation streams flowing toward the surface. Aromas are solid apricots... that’s it... almost an apricot marmolade or something. Not quite fake, but not 100% natural, either. Elements in the flavor that I found interesting: the wheat notes come through very clearly in the aftertaste, but you have to kind of wait for them to get there before taking another sip; the apricot presence is much stronger in scent than in flavor; a kind of lemony/grassy hops presence matches the malt body nicely.

While i will admit it tastes a little similar to the No.9, it still has its own characteristics that set it aside from others. Magic Hat was actually 4 boothes away from this beer. This was a little sweeter, and a lot more wheat. Still similar cloudy orange body with a pleasent fresh apricot aroma. Taste is pleaseant and citrusy.
