Tap at Valley. Quite nice and refreshing - outdoes Pyramid’s Apricot Hef especially on fresh taste (well, that’s not fair of me, is it?). Rather clear fruit favor, but not quite juice-caliber. One note except for light flour taste. Highly drinkable, IMO.

sampler @ brewery - clear, light gold with orange glow and no head; apricots very noticeable in flavors and aromas; texture is grainy and thin; wheat, yeast and lemons also mixed in; dry finish; they get the nose and flavor just right without being overall sweet; very nice

Draft. Light golden beer. Apricot aroma. Big apricot flavor with some balanced malt. This is a pretty good fruit beer - fruity, not over powering, very drinkable.

On tap at the brewpub. A slightly darker gold color. Aroma of apricots, and something akin to urinals. Flavor of apricot, somewhat artificial, wheat and bread.

Hazy yellow gold with no head. A little apricot in the aroma. Light soft flavors of apricot and wheat malt. It was rather carbonated.

Draft at the brewpub. Yellow pour, somewhat clear. Aroma is lots of apricot. Flavor is the same, perfume sweetness and some more apricots.

At the brewery, pours apricot in color, with a nose of, well, apricot. No head, and the flavor is a bit sweet, and the apricot is more subtle.
