Distinct apricot aroma and flavour. Not bad, but resembles alcopop too much.

Appearance: nice medium amber with a small head. Smell: apricots all around, and not cheap apricot extract either. Taste: wow. F-ing nice. I'm not a huge fan of fruity drinks, but something about this one grabbed me, sucked me in, and has me finishing quickly and asking for more. Mouthfeel: felt good in my mouth. Just enough fizz to remind me that this wasn't juice. The bar I had this at had about 10 beers I'd never heard of. This was the first I tried... and very unlike me, I had this a second time instead of trying a different brew. This was so drinkable to me that I would have had a third if my companion/ride wasn't ready to go. It did not fill me up like most fruity drinks do.

Golden body with orange highlights. Medium-thick white head. Smells of apricot as well as malt. Strong initial apricot flavour fades fast into just a little light malt background. A bit watery, but not too bad. Sweet apricot aftertaste is very pleasant. Better than what I was expecting from this brewery! I had this twelve ounce bottle at Bailey's in Ballston (Arlington), Virginia.

Dark orange. Strong aroma of apricot. There is a sweet apricot taste but not so much that I am embarrassd to drink it. finishes sour. O'Gara's Bar and Grill apricot wheat does a better job apricot beer.

This stuff really tastes like apricots. If they put something else on tap after it,without changing lines, that will have an apricot flavor as well. (even if they clean the lines.)

Let's see. I like beer. I dislike apricots. Apparently I dislike apricots more than I like beer. Points for color that matches the flavor though.

Hazy peach colour. Big apricot aroma, kind of syrupy but not much else. Big sweet apricot taste, hint of wheaty tartness. Sweet & tart finish, still with lots of apricot. That’s really about it. Pleasant, refreshing, drinkable but not terribly exciting unless you like apricot.
Original rating: Back in the day, before the likes of New Glarus and Quelque Chose, this was considered a definitive North American fruit ale. It is unfiltered, has a peachy colour, and strong sweet apricot flavours, which fall away towards the finish. Ar 7 Ap 4 Fl 7 P 4 Ov 14 = 3.6

This bere smells far better than it tastes. (nice apricot aroma). The flavor is dry and moderately fruity, but not very interesting (actually quite boring, with the apricot flavors being very attenuated and almost unpleasant). Almost a waste of a mediocre wheat to start with, and a questionable choice of fruit.
