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.
50 IBU

Poured from a bottle into pint glass in August 2015.
Appearance: Golden with light tan head. Head is thick and sticks to the glass.
Smell: Strong aroma of hops, pine, and fruit, like grapefruits and apricots, with a little peppery spices as well. Overall the hops aroma dominate the others.
Taste: There is a strong hop flavor with hints of fruit flavor and a little pepper flavors as well. There is not much sweetness from the malts. The label lists apricots, and there is a small hint of that.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied.
This is a strongly hopped IPA. It has an interesting mix of fruit, hops, and other flavors, which makes it interesting. Overall the hops do dominate the flavor.

The hops drown out any apricot flavor
This stuff is horrible.

One of my favorite beers ever, the dark, almost caramel flavor of the apricot is a much better compliment to the IPA style that you might think. A perfectly balanced beer and a great pickup if you can find it.
