12oz can from Albertsons. Foggy golden pour, initial billowing head recedes. Aroma is apricot, fruity. Apricot more muted in the taste, but bready flavors emerge in their place. Abrupt finish. Refreshing.

Paid too much for this at total wine. Clear yellow. Somewhat artificial nose. Yes, taste is apricot, but maybe too much apricot? Not sure. Carbonation could be a little strong to give it some zest. In the middle, the apricot starts to wear on me and it starts bending towards insincere and unnatural. Now, near the end, I'm getting some odd bitterness starting to build, maybe that's the wheat ale peaking thru? Just asking. Would not buy again, but hey, even tho I like real apricots, my rating is biased because I don't really think apricot belongs in beer.

12 oz can from Total Wine. Pours a clear amber-gold color with a white head and decent retention. xxxx lacing. Apricot aroma, as expected. Apricot flavor throughout, with limited wheat notes. More of a fruit beer than a wheat ale. Juicy, but not too sweet. Smooth, clean, and refreshing. Very light body. Medium-light carbonation. Zero bitterness.

Poured from the tap. Clear-ish gold with small white head. Wheat and apricot, competently done, but not really interesting. Okay.

5oz draft pour at Whole Foods Old Town Alexandria. I’m pretty sure I’ve had this before, but never got around to rating it, so here it is. Poured a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was a pleasant character of apricots, light wheat notes.

Tap at New World Brewery, Tampa. Cloudy yellow. Aroma was apricot. Taste was highly carbonated apricot soda. Uninteresting, lacks character.

Draft - Wheat and apricots, not sweet though. Hazy yellow with a thin white head. Apricots dominate with a nice wheat base. Again not too sweet which makes this decent. A bit jammy though, maybe a bit of tartness or bitterness would make this more interesting.
