A sorta dry, crisp, refreshing, not quite pale ale whose mysterious and unusual palate will swirl across your tongue with subtle notes of fruit and a floral hop bitterness.

A bit too much of the fruit aroma for me that throws the whole thing off. I never really got this beer.

Bottle. This was a good beer. Smelled of bread like malt and fruit. Taste was of apricots, with a good malt-hop balance. A good quenching beer.

Tap at the brewery.
Clear copper pour, with a small white head. Aroma of fruit........hard to pin it down. Pineapple, berries, pear, cherry. Quite interesting, this like a fruit punch. Very crisp, and a clean finish with a touch of tartness. Leaves you wanting more on a warm summertime patio. I was impressed, i didn’t expect much.

Bottle at 1048 Jazz and Blues, Montgomery. Bit sweetish with an aroma of peach, apricot, and notes of berries. Bit softly hopped, mild bitter. Body is medium. Not bad but a bit too much like a Fruit Beer, not enough Pale Ale.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Unusual brew using English top-fermenting yeast and also wheat. And then it’s a fruit beer - I would’ve guessed raspberries, but it turns out to be....apricot!!! Fully golden, unfiltered with a pretty decent head. Pronounced, dry fruit flavours and almost no sweetness. Well, not a complete pleasure. 2.5

Sweet bitter and some tart, hints of apricot and peach in funky way. Old paper ratings before Ratebeer, so why not rate them in hindsight.
