Pale, some haze. Thin, relatively weak head. The aroma has a fair bit of apricot puree - it's a decent fruit character. It still comes in a bit like an afterthought versus the best-integrated fruit beers around. The palate also has a decent apricot character, but also a light malt and a bit more alcohol taste. There was a beer in BC back in the 90s that was a strong fruit ale that came across too boozy to make sense - the Tall Ship Raspberry Ale - and this calls to mind that beer in terms of its structure and balance. It's far from perfect but I can appreciate it.

Draft on the brewpub patio on 13th August 2025. Clean and bright orange/apricot colour, wispy white head. Apricots abound but in a pleasant and tasty way, really liked it. Not normally a fruit beer type, so didn't order this until I'd tasted some one else's in our group.

Poured from 650mL bottle. Clear blonde with white head. Huge aroma of apricot. Taste is dominant pale malt with light apricot sweetness. It's decent, but something about it clashes, just can't quite place my finger on it.

Nice pinkish gold hue, big carbonation, modest head. Bigly sweet apricot on the nose with some fruit skins, tannins. Flavour is nice pale ale biscuit with mellow apricot sweetness on the back end. Very balanced in fact, working well.
