Sea Dog Apricot Wheat Beer

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

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.

Sampled at Cellar’s Wine & Spirits Wednesday evening beer tasting and shared by JK. From a 12-oz bottle pours a semi-clear golden pale blonde brew with an average white head that slowly dissipates to a fine film and white ring. Aroma of light multi-grain malts, apricot and peach fruit, a touch of grassy hops and some fruity bubble gum. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of white bread malt, dried apricots with a touch of salt, some grassy hops and some tropical fruit. Finish is semi-sweet with a nice balanced aftertaste of fruit and light bread malts.

I gave this one a little bit higher than I normally would a crappy fruit-flavor-added beer, because at least this one has enough fruit flavor to be clearly a fruity beer, not a crappy wheat beer with a slight fruit flavor. I don’t know if that makes sense.

12oz Bottle - Trader Joes - Tacoma, WA
Aroma – Nice light apricot aroma with a pale what malt in the nose also.
Appearance – Light golden in color, Nice head and clear.
Flavor – A very well balanced beer with a good amount of apricot but not overwhelming. A very nicely done fruit beer.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, great texture with a good dry finish.
Overall – A very nice fruit beer. Had some good flavors this will be great for those who do not understand beer.

Look like apple cider with a thin white head. Aroma of apricots and grassy hops. Smooth, tastes of apricots with a somewhat tingly finish. Mostly a lifeless beer with a little candy sweetness.

Not a bad beer at all, especially for only $1. Powerful apricot aroma. Some wheat, and more apricot, wheat, and green tea in the flavor. Cloudy.

(bottle thanks for sharing JK) Pours gold with a white head. Pretty substantial aroma of dried apricot, and it does actually smell like peach rings as well. Taste is heavy on apricot with a light tea-like finish along with some wheat as well. Medium mouthfeel. This was beer was not bad at all, and is grossly underrated in my opinion.

[bottle] shared by JK. Poured clear gold with a small off white head. Aroma is like those peach-o rings you can get at the grocery store. Sparkling light mouthfeel with the wheat malt coming through at the end.
