Notes:
Aprihop is an American IPA brewed with Pilsner and Crystal malts. It's massively hopped -- in the continuous fashion, of course! -- and the flavor is complemented by the addition of apricots.

After fermentation, the beer is dry hopped with irresponsible amounts of Amarillo hops. The beer has a hoppy aroma, with the apricots playing a supporting role.

The flavor is rich with late hop flavors, and its bitterness is tempered by just the right amount of malt sweetness and fruity undertones from the apricots.

Pours a hazy copper to orange-ish color with an off white head. In the aroma, piney hops and a small hint of apricot sweetness. In the taste, piney hops but smoothed out with a fruity sweetness. A small bite and medium bodied mouthfeel with a sweet hoppy aftertaste. Kind of like 60 minute with a fruity hint.

look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4

A: Nice amber brown color with a big white fluffy soapy head. Great lace and retention. Darker than the usual IPA.

S: Fruity malt with just a faint hint of hops.

T: Plenty of sweetness and fruit with discernable apricot but this isn't an IPA. Not enough hops to even be a Pale Ale. This is a fruit beer.

M: Very sweet but tasty. Not cloying but there's that dried fruit feel.

O: Good flavor...and wait... are those hops when the beer warms up?!
