Fruity on the nose, apricot is what comes through heavily. I generally don't like the fruity beers a lot, but this one is quite well done. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Shared 12 oz. bottle. Pours golden with an orange tint and a white head. Aroma of apricot. Taste is artificial apricot and watery lager. Yuck.

Poured from tap dark amber with minimal head. Aromas of apricot citrus and perfume. Taste is bitter medicinal not all that great.

35 cl bottle i took over from a bottleshop in Manhattan, NY, 9 months ago. Light orange color, slightly hazed, big but reciding white head, no lacing, fizzy. Funky smell. Aroma is fruity, flowery. Belgian-like fruity esters with a light sulphuric edge, yeast, white grapes, pear, plum, sugar. Some leaves and earth. Taste sweetish, a bit sour, light to medium body, heavily carbonated, farily dry mediu-short finish. Not quite ordinary indeed.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 6/16/2015. Pours slightly hazy/cloudy golden orange color with a 2 finger dense and rocky off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of apricot, peach, plum, pear, apple, honey, toasted biscuit, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of apricot, bready malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of apricot, peach, plum, pear, apple, honey, toasted biscuit, herbal, grass, and yeast/toasted earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of apricot, peach, plum, honey, toasted biscuit, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice robustness, complexity, and balance of apricot, bready malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop flavor; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, fairly creamy/bready, and slightly sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a very good fruited English pale ale style. All around good robustness, complexity, and balance of apricot, bready malt, fruity yeast, and light earthy hop flavors; and very smooth, clean, and easy to drink. The aromas were stronger on the apricot notes, but still had a good amount in the flavor; and the base English pale ale is very well done for the style. A very enjoyable offering.

16 Oz can poured. Can’t make out the date on this can, but I don’t think it’s the freshest out there. Copper pour with a high fizz head. Big fruity aroma. Peachy? But not quite the peach flavor I know and love. Carb is high. Fruity grain finish. Hmmm. What kind of beer is this? Weird.

Can. A- Apricots, fruity, cleaner, wheat, pool water. A- Orange color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Wheat, apricots, fruity, slightly dry, subtle bitterness. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, fruity finish. O- Early in my craft days I’d have loved this. With a bit more of a palate now, it’s not so delish. Decent but not delish. Nice apricot in there but also some cholorine and chemical like aromas. Excepted more. Wanted more.

Bottle. Aroma is fruity peach. Appearance is clear, light yellow-gold with small persistent head, light lacing with minimal retention, sustained carbonation. Taste is medium sweet fruity peach. Palate is medium bodied with lively carbonation--a little too much initially but mellows as it sits in the glass. Quick finish. Overall, a nice highly drinkable beer with good flavor profile. Not complex but good either on its own or paired with food.
