Slightly hazy golden coloured body with a somewhat large, three centimetre tall off-white head on top. Aroma of light fruits with the apricots showing first of course, but also some pears and peaches and ending with a mellow malt and yeast bite. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong apricot and malty flavours at first with a mellow malt and yeast flavour showing through the sweetness and fruits with a nice relatively pungent bite that shows the malt and yeast flavours nicely along with a dry, grainy finish that has some apricots and peach sweetness at the end. Aftertaste shows a lot of robust malt, fruit and sweetness with a touch of grain on the end and a prolonged complexity throughout. Overall, a nice and rich beer with a good malty flavour and pleasant and well balanced fruit flavour that leaves just a touch of sweetness on the end and good complexity towards the finish. Good to sample and well worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Habersham Beverage Warehouse in Savannah, Georgia on 04-May-2018 for US$3,50 sampled on my hotel resort here in Orlando, Florida on 06-May-2018 just two days later.

Pint can. Homer7654321. Pours with a nearly clear gold body that supports a thin dirty white head of foam. The aroma offers up malts, wheat, ripe apple wedge, pear and apricot moving into clove, brown sugar and just a touch of white pepper mixed with booze. The taste delivers smooth sweet malts, sweet pear, banana and apple fruity esters. To midway it picks up additional notes of spicy clove and some bubble gum. Decent stuff where in the finish a bit of booze tries to dry it out a tad as it becomes faintly bready and nutty.

New Beer Distributors, NYC can: pours slightly hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is loads of Belgian yeast and fruitiness. Apricot is present in aroma and taste but hardly hits you over the head. Otherwise a solid Belgian ale.

Can. Pours hazy dark yellow with large foamy off-white head, faint funky aroma, high carbonation, mildly bitter earthy taste with a hint of salt, faint apricot flavor, smooth body, long mildly spicy finish. Very smooth and easy to drink.

Decent fruit Belgian, bringing a mild, wheat-tinged sweetness with hints of clove, vanilla, and grass mixing with a restrained ripe apricot middle. Grows grainy towards the finish, with a growing sugary back end that gains a slight floral bitterness to fight off any cloy notes. Thin texture seems too watery for the style, but the pour's pretty, coming out a hazed gold with a modest head and moderate lace. Okay overall.

Pour is a murky orange with a large white head. Aroma is Belgian candi sugar and apricots. Flavor is apricots with some wheat malt and maybe a slight honey. The apricot came out more in the flavor than the aroma. This was a decent fruit beer. Nothing seems artificial and the apricots feels juicy and fresh.

Can at beerlovers. Pours darker blonde. Good fluffy head. Smell is fruity, esthers. Taste is distantly bitter. Corny, some fruits. Rather thin body ( even for a belgian style, yes ) some sugary notes. Fruityness lingers nice troughout the aftertaste. Not my personal favorite

Sample at the taproom. Hazy pale orange-gold color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of herbal wheat, apricots and malt. Light to medium body with flavors of Belgian yeast, apricots, toasted malt and mild hops. The finish is apricots and grassy hops. Pretty good overall.
