Pale yellow color, small white head. Strong sweet aroma of apricot. Dry papery, woody flavor, a bit of wheat but not much apricot fruityness. When it is very cold, possible ok as a thirst quencher, but this is not a beer for serious beer drinking.

Bottled. Clear pale amber. Syrupy peach aroma. Sweet with hard plastic mouthfeel, lots of sickening sweet artificial peach flavouring. No other flavours need to bother. Simplistic hard mouthfeel. This is craft beer? Frankly I’d much rather have a Bud Light.

(Bottle) Clear golden/pale orange colour with foamy, brief, white head. Lively, lots of carbonation, no lacing. Fruity, sweetish nose with distinct notes of dried apricots, passion fruit and pineapple. Fruity taste with dried apricots, orange, passion fruit and some underlying notes of bready malt. Not as sweet as expected, making the taste quite balanced. Rather thin body. Reminds me of the passion fruit softdrink of my childhood days, slightly drier though. Might work on a hot summer day, but to be honest, more alcopop character than beer character.

[bottle] Pale orange colour, weak head. Sweet candy-ish apricot aroma. Sweet apricot flavour. Thin and fizzy. Is it diluted soda pop?

Bottled. A golden beer with no head. The aroma has strong notes of apricot, somewhat artificial. The flavor is cloyingly artificially apricot, with light wheat notes towards the end. The body is thin.

(355 ml bottle from Systembolaget) Clar copper color with a medium size white head. Sweet perfumy artificial fruit scent. Not easy to find either malts of hops. Taste is, well, not much actually. Some malts, some faint artificial fruits, a bit sweet aftertste. Mothfeel is spritzy with lots of co2. No bitterness that I can make out. I’m glad I only bought one bottle to sample, though it might works much butter in the summertime instead of the middle of winter...

Pour is yellow with a small white head. Aroma is strong apricots, so much so i could smell it as i was pouring it in the glass. Flavor is not good so much. Totaly weak and watery is the best description. It smells so good you think this would taste better but its just MEH.

Bottle. Aroma like opening a can of apricots in syrup with some wheat nose coming through. Light amber with small head. Light apricot wheat flavor - rather light and not cloying as the aroma would lead you to believe. Flavor and palate like those flavored, sweetened mineral waters. No offensive flavor, just little beyond apricot and mineral water.
