Crafting delicious beer doesn’t start with ingredients. It starts with exploration. Back in the 90s, our constant need to experiment with culinary ingredients was considered heresy by some. But it was the passion and the constant trial and error that led to pure alchemy, and we began brewing with real fruit pulled from our brewpub kitchen. Made with sweet apricots, Aprihop blazed the trail as one of the first fruit-infused IPAs.
That ongoing journey continues today with Flesh & Blood IPA. We could save time and money by brewing with fruit extracts. But for us, authenticity counts. And when we say we brew with real fruit, we mean it.
“One of the first to experiment with fruit-infused IPAs… the result of 20 years of delicious R&D.” -Food & Wine
Brewed with mouth-puckering lemon flesh, sweet orange peel and blood orange juice, Flesh & Blood balances the resinous hoppy characteristics of an American IPA with the explosive zesty fruitiness and subtle drying tartness of citrus to deliver a highly quaffable ale that’s incredibly unique and lovely to down the whole year round.

12 oz single purchased at Missie’s Discount Liquors in Shawnee, Kansas. The pour is a sight haze orange brown ruby with a foamy one inch light tan head. The aroma is caramel sweet malt along with floral citrus hop. The taste is bitter lemon peel, blood orange fruit, caramel sweet malt and a bit of floral earth in the finish. The palate is medium bodied with soft carbonation and the lemon peel bitterness to the finish.

Can. Pours a amber reddish color with a large white head. A big fruity nose. Oranges, really clear blood orange which tastes a bit like guava. Soft toasted malt base. Perfume. Solid. A bit much for me, but quite nice.

Bottle. Pours a perfect amber color with a small ring of beige head. The aroma is a mixture of herbal and floral hops, a little sweetness, and lots of orange peel. The citrus and orange taste is dominant, but some herbal tea and floral hops as well. Just a touch of lemon.

On tap at Red Cow North Loop. Pours amber gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of orange with grains backing with a touch of bread underlying. Flavor has earthy citrus and grains with a bread backbone supporting.

Can, with a medium floral perfumy introduction to the nose that turns resinous later on. What else can be said except this is one mouth coating terribly on style volatile brew, WWhewwie. Strong bitter kick ass, drinkin hops with no beer, hoppy experience. Fur scherrrr. Whew! Not impressed, I’m still un-mature. If you mixed this with a can of Iron, you’s still have an IPA! Probably should be in the imperial IPA category considering its alky content.

Can. Cherry colored amber with an off-white head. Sweet fruity citrus aroma. Sweet on the front with a lemon tartness. No real hop bitterness. I don’t quite know how to place this one.
