Full of big, fresh apricot notes, this untraditional take on a traditional unfiltered wheat beer invigorates the body and soul with its smooth, refreshing finish.

Reviewed from notes.
I had this in a pint glass every time I’ve had it.
The appearance was a filtered looking orange to brown in color with a one finger white foamy head that lasts for about a minute and delicately dies into the body. The lacing is light but its there trying to spiderweb but slides for the most part.
The smell was apricot and delicately backed up by some wheatiness to it.
The taste was apricot sweet with the wheat coming back to assist in the taste. There is an apricot aftertaste and a dry finish.
On the palate, it sat about a medium and was fairly sessionable. The carbonation seemed okay for the style and for me.
Overall, I’m pretty sure Pyramid did what they wanted to as far as making an Apricot Ale. Try it if you see it, however, I’ve had this with plain cheesecake once and that was a stellar dessert, though I was extremely full afterwards.

On tap at the Yard House, Houston. An unclear orange golden beer with just about no head. There’s lots of canned peaches on the nose, not so much apricots I think. Orange peel hints too. Tasteful apricot candy flavor with some canned peaches and orange peel. Medium body and a bit hard carbonation, quite dry. Peaches and syrup finish, still far from sweet and sticky. Sort of quenching this one, but also rather boring. 140516

Palate affected by head cold, but mostly unimpressed with this. Faint fruit flavor, weak body, dull appearance. not much going on here.

Purchased at Albertsons in their make your 6-pack, in Vegas. Pours a cloudy golden colour with a big creamy white head, good retention and lots of sticky lace. Smells like apricot shampoo. The taste is kind of weird as well, with the blend between the fruit and the wheat. Maybe it’s natural and I am not used it ? Maybe too fake ?? Prefer the McAuslan Apricot one.

Stole from coworker. I drank this because I knew I would never be able to force myself to buy this. In any case, it was a pleasant surprise. Mild tasting ale with a nice apricot flavor. Nothing like Magic Hat #9. A little bit more than a lame wheat beer with fruit additives.

Drought. Slightly hazy golden-orange color, small foamy off-white head, strong apricot aroma, slightly sweet apricot flavored beer with low carbonation, abrupt finish. Interesting creation,

Pours hazy, old gold with a short, off-white head. Aroma is musty apricot, quietly sweet. An easy-going flavour, not overly sweet. Crisp and carbonated. Dry .... a bit boring.
