12 ounce bottle thanks to hershiser2! 9/26/20. Hazy orange, thin white head, large chunks. Kinda gross. Aroma of sweet apricot, pale malt. Taste is dank, apricot, peach, piney hops. Medium bodied, chunky. I get it, but its kinda gross with these big chunks in here.

Solid enough for what it is. Apricot shines pretty decently in the IPA. Pours golden amber with decent IPA. Bitter finish with good malt. Bottle from mixed case.
Gold pour. Thin head. Sweet apricot fruit nose. Initial taste is sweet apricot with a strong wheat finish.

Crisp copper and light bronze coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head that stays afloat nicely. Aroma of very strong apricots, peaches and sweet fruit with a dry herbal bitterness from the hops and a balanced malt backbone with a touch of yeast and light bread. Medium-bodied; Strong apricot and stone fruit flavours that show a bit of pear and apples and finishes with some light malt and dry bitterness along with a touch of pure sweetness at the end, all from the fruits. Aftertaste is dry with a very apricot and apple bite along with some lighter sugars and more pungent malt backbone that finishes with a definite yeast quality. Overall, a nicely fruited beer that really shows the dry and pungent apricots along with some other stone fruits, but the malt and dry hopping are definitely noticeable with the bitterness more in the nose than in the actual flavours. Not a bad offering, and if you like apricots and IPAs, this one is pretty good and worth trying to find! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Potomac Yard), Virginia on 09-June-2020 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 13-June-2020 in Keller, Virginia, one last time.
