look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Sam Adams Perfect Pint glass.

A: Amber in color - Not an aggressive pour produced about a finger of creamy white head that disappeared quicly.

S: Relatively hop forward at the beginning, citrusy hops, not the bitter kind. Subtle fruity (apricot obviously) undertones

T: The semi-sweet of the apricot is balanced extremely evenly with the hop bitter. Not sure what hops they used in this (or when in the boil) but they accompany the apricot extremely well.

M: Creamy, not overly carbonated.

O: As it warms, the bitter of the apricot comes through more so than at the beginning. It begins to make for slmost too bitter of a beer but overall, it's a solid offering from DFH. Duh.

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?!
