355ml can. Cloudy, orange golden to amber colour with average, frothy, rapidly diminishing, white head. Fruity aroma, notes of apricot, dried apricot, mirabelle. Taste is dry hoppy, fruity, rather neutral, pale malty basis with very little residual sweetness, notes of apricot, dried apricot, some mirabelle. Minimally cream-oily, watery texture, smooth, fairly soft, simultaneously slightly dry palate, fine, prickly carbonation. Very well balanced, especially well controlled sweetness, no hints of artificiality - good.

Can. Pours cloudy amber with huge white head. Aroma is intense fresh apricot, physalis and hints of passion fruit. Taste is medium to very sweet, light bitter and light acidic. Body is water with fizzy carbonation. Finish is long and very sweet with notes of fresh apricot, figs, physalis and hints of overripe mango. A bit too sweet and candy like for my taste

12 oz. can purchased at Davidsons Wine & Spirits in Highland Ranch, CO. Thanks G-unit! Pours a cloudy gold color with a very large off-white head and very good retention. Looks like a wheat ale. Decent lacing. Strong apricot aroma. Good natural apricot flavor on a generic beer base. Not too sweet or fruity. Medium body. Good for the style.

Pours the colour of apricot skins, there’s plenty v foam that shrinks slowly.

As authentic an apricot smell as I’ve ever encountered. It’s a balanced smell of sweet and sour without suggesting that sour will dominate.

Sweetish apricots with an additional sweet note or 2 from the malt of the base Blonde Ale. I have to admit; the smell is outstanding, leaving the the taste placing 2nd in a 2 horse race.

Medium body with medium carbonation.

If only the flavours lived up to what those delightful aromas suggested. Still, it’s a lovely drop.

Dry Dock Apricot Blonde 5.1% Thanks Nie! It is an orange honey gold pour with an apricot & cream aroma, possibly also peach blossoms. Fairly light bodied with a seltzer type carbonation. After the aroma the dry crackery flavor blessed with just hints of apricots leaves you kind of let down it lacked the juicy apricot you expected from the nose. A nice drink though with honeyed biscuit & tangy apricot.

Can. A- Apricots. A- Orange color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Apricots, wheat. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, refreshing finish. O- A very refreshing fruit beer that actually tastes like real fruit. The apricots in this are great and not cloying or artificial tasting at all. It does decline in taste and aftertaste as it warms, but when drunk cold, it’s a pretty solid brew.
