Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a tulip because I thought this was a Belgian ale.
The appearance was a hazy sort of copper color with a finger’s worth of quickly dissipating head. Mild stringy lace.
The aroma had some apricot, dough/white bread, light hay/grassiness, some bubblegum and a touch of herbal quality underneath.
The flavor was moderately malty sweet with the apricot super sweet and the grassiness coming across really dry. Apricot sweet aftertaste flowing into the finish.
The palate was about medium bodied with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt fine.
Overall, I wanted to like this one, probably based on the idea, but somehow seemed like the apricot didn’t want to blend as well in the flavor. Also, I missed the memo - there was coriander supposed to be in this?

Sweet and spicy; this peachy-coloured ale is fantastically refreshing, with great balance between bursting fruit, zesty coriander and pale malt notes. Highly enjoyable on the warmest November day I've ever experienced in my life.
