On a flight at the Ballast Point place in Temecula, California on 9th Feb 2017. Golden orange pour, white head. As the name suggests, this tastes and smells of apricots, so fairly tart and musty, yet with a pleasant sweetness: is that from the added honey or the apricots? I don’t know. Anyway, I enjoyed this, thought the alcohol was well hidden too.

On tap at Ballast Point - Scripps Ranch, pours a hazy orange amber with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of Belgian yeast, candied sugar and phenols. Flavour is boozy, with lots of candied sugar, Belgian yeast and alcohol. Inauthentic, but it works well for what it is. A boozy, sugary mess that works decently.

Perfectly clear apricot and orange coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall tan head. Aroma of honey, yeast, alcohol, oranges, citrus, metal and a bit of medicinal scents. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich honey flavours show through first with a lot of malt, some apricots, pears, citrus and finishing with a ton of alcohol warmth. Aftertaste shows a nice apricot and fruity flavour with a lot of residual fruit sweetness, a bit of toffee and pitted fruits, raisins and some smoother hop and malt elements near the end. Overall, a nice and robust offering with a lot of malt, honey, yeast and some floral flavours as well, but the apricot and alcohol are by far the strongest here. Nice to sample, and even though I believe this one either belongs in the American Strong or Tripel category, this still is a decent enough beer to look for, and have around if you can get it on the cheap, given it’s high potency. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 26-November-2016 for US$2,79 sampled at home in Washington on 07-February-2017.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear orange with small white head that lasts. The aroma is bubblegum and honey. Medium body, strong honey, wheat, light finish, good.

12 oz bottle. Aroma is Smarties, honey. Pours slightly hazy orange with a quickly collapsing off-white head. Taste starts out sweet and boozy before a heavy bitterness sets in. Alcohol is astringent. Flavors of apricot, honey. Damn, what a hot mess. Was this beer created after they sold out? WTF, Ballast Point?

Fat på Bishop Arms Gustav i Malmö. Smak och doft av humle, aprikos, honung med toner av likör. Fruktig, lagom sötma, fin beska, alkoholen slår igenom en aning.

Bottle. A- Raw honey, boozy, subtle apricot, sugar cookies. A- Orange color, clear liquid, minimal head. T- Honey, booze, sugar. P- Full body, sharp texture, average carbonation, boozy finish. O- Definitely the booziest fruit beer I’ve had. Could use a lot more apricot. The honey is there but it’s prominent because it’s so boozy from it. Good, but one bottle was enough. Almost tasted like a cheap apricot schnapps.
