Part of a sampler six pack.

Yellow to tan and somewhat cloudy, white head was about a finger and lacing was sparse.

Aroma is quite apricot, with some oranges and tangerines, maybe some maltiness, enjoyable.

Flavor is again very fruity, plenty of apricot flavor, although perhaps a little syrupy. Some citrus and some wheat balance it out pretty nicely.

Body is light but chewy and slightly syrupy, but very easy to drink. Would be a good summer beer.

Overall it's very enjoyable, although not the best fruit beer I've had. I would not be disappointed if I bought a sixer of it though, it would all get drank!

look: 2.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3

Appearance: Poured cold 12 oz. bottle into ale glass. Dark gold color, hazy, unclear. Few bubbles, no head.

Smell: Malty aroma. Some hops in the background. Also apricot-like aroma -- evoked scenes of sunshine and ripening apricots in orchards -- that was nice.

Taste: Light ale-like flavor with apricots. Apricot flavor was just right -- not too strong. No complex flavors -- narrow.

Mouthfeel: Not a big change in taste -- nothing worth reporting.

Overall: Was a nice change from the usual beers that I drink. The apricot aroma was nice, so was the flavor. Not sure that I would go out of my way to buy or consume this one.

A: The beer is rather hazy yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high off white head that died down, leaving a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of apricots are present in the nose along with some hints of peaches.
T: The taste is similar to the smell and also has additional notes of wheat.
M: It feels a little more than light-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This wasn't a bad beer because the apricot flavors seemed natural and not syrupy or artificial. I wouldn't mind trying this one again.

I think most people seem to prefer bitter beers so they rated this beer down. I can't drink bitter beer so I found this refreshing. This is a solid apricot beer, no complaints. It's not too fruity either, pretty balanced, with a medium-light body. Some reviewers felt the aftertaste wasn't good, I disagree I feel the aftertaste is very good. Just shows that taste isn't universal. Great for a spring/summer day.

Poured into a pint glass with almost a finger of head on a hazy, orange colored body.
The aroma is almost all apricot; a fresh ripe apricot. Really nice.
The taste has banana and lemon with apricot taking the lead. Good balance for a fruit beer.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
For its style, I love it. Great on a warm, yard work day.
