look: 3 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4

Pours a clear, golden yellow. Nose has lots of apricot with some citrus and some grain malt. Taste follows suit. Sweet citrus and apricot upfront fade to some grain/wheat malts. Apricot comes in again, this time much more prominently. Ends with a spicy banana flavor. Overall, this is a solid take on a fruit hefe. Usually I have been very let down by fruits being put into this style, but I should have known that TH would nail this one.

Serving type: on-tap

Pours a white head. Good retention with very nice lacing. Color is a hazed golden orange.

Aroma: apricots dominate the nose. Very sweet. Bananas, cloves, spices, and bubblegum show.

Taste: mimics the nose but more bubblegum and sweetness.

Mouthfeel: smooth and creamy. Light bodied with a mediums mount of carbonation. Ends clean, but kind of bland.

Overall, a decent hefe. Nothing out of the ordinary but the apricots add a nice flavor.

Serving type: on-tap
