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.

12 oz can purchased at Antler’s in Frisco, Colorado. The pour is a very hazed golden orange with a 1/2 inch well formed white head. The aroma is fresh apricot, sweet, and softly tart fruit. The taste is the apricot fruit, very fresh and natural, tartness of apricot skin all on top of clean softly sweet straw malt. The palate is medium to light bodied with active carbonation and a clean finish. Tasty refreshing beer.

Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a hazy orange color with a medium white head that fizzes away quickly. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of apricots and wheat. Light body with an apricot character backed up by a bit of sweet malt. The finish is fruity and short. Overall the beer is straightforward and slightly above average.
