Well, I will say this - there are apricots in this beer! The nose is apricots and fruit juice. Apricots lead the taste profile as well, supported by lemon juice, candied fruit, a hint of bubble gum and some corn syrop. Sweet, for sure, but not obnoxiously so.

slightly cloudy amber color. aroma is very very nice, lots of apricot in there, smells wonderful. Flavour is kind of a let down, not much body there, and somewhat wattery. the flavour doesn’t live up to the aroma. Still a decent beer, but kinda falls short.

The fullness of the body on the beer makes it good, the fruitiness is quite high, but reasonable.

Bottle. Pours amber with a pink tint and a smalloff-white head. Aroma of apricot, banana boat sweets, malt and artificial sweetener. Quite heavy sweetness and a light touch of sour. Toward medium body, slight oily and watery texture, soft to average carbonation. Not so bad.

Pale orange with a firm white head. Very apricot forward aroma with wheat and other fruit notes. Medium bodied. Apricot leads the way in the flavor, too. Some light bitter citrus, a faint spice, and sweet wheat. Very refreshing.

Golden clear with a brief white head, medium bodied and peaches and apricot aroma. The finish is cloying, this is not a well crafted fruit beer.

341ml bottle. Crystal clear, dark orangey, golden colour with small, frothy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Sweet, artificial apricot aroma, hints of butter, nut butter, ester. Taste is slightly bitter hoppy, minimally wheaty, slightly diluted, minimally artificial hints of apricot, moderate sweetness, minimally tart counterweight. Not as sweet and artificial as the aroma suggested to suspect.

Pours a clear straw from a bottle, extremely little head. Apricot/white grape juice aroma, similar flavor, maybe somewhat strong like an extract or schnapps or something. Not a great beer.
