12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark gold with minimal head. Lots of carbonation bubbles clinging to the side of the glass. Aroma of peaches, alcohol and sweet fruity malt. Taste is light sweet and medium sour. Tastes just like it smells. Apricots, peaches and fruity pebbles. Light bodied with a thin texture. Very lively carbonation and a long sour finish. Overall, not bad for what it is. I would drink this again if I wanted juice instead of beer.

Künstlicher Fruchtantrunk, wenig sauer, nach Marmelade. Die Säuerlichkeit wirkt fast schon unpassend neben der aufkommenden Süße, weiter künstlich. Die Süße, die das Marmeladenaroma ausmacht, wirkt penetrant, das Bier unausgeglichen. Zum Ende herb marmeladig. Nicht gut und schon gar kein Lambic! 7/5/6/5/9/5

Early amateur rating warning! Clear beer. Well carbonated, refreshing sharp fruity taste. Very nice!

I was too kind to this one. Lightly colored amber. Nose and taste is freshly picked apricots. Light bodied and juicy. Rated 6/7/02

Bottled (from Ölkonsortiet, Aalborg). Orangeish golden colour, small white head. Aroma is apricot, earth, much sourness and also some wet wood. Very nice. Flavour is sweet apricot, some sourness, mild wood and very pleasantly balanced. Too bad the apricot is a bit too sweet/strong in the flavour, othewise a very nice brew.

A golden beer with a thick white head.A pleasant aroma of Brett and fruit, quite nice. A sweet apricot start followed by lactic acid, vinegar, a bit too sweet, but overall interesting. Light bodied. Bottle is about yrs old.

Copper coloured body with a bright orange tint and a short-lived white head that tops the beer. Aroma of pure fresh apricots, caster sugar, malt, white grapes and a nice fresh scent. Medium-bodied; Sweet flavourful taste of apricots with a great caster sugar taste and a perfect amount of malt. This one is what fruit beers should be. Aftertaste shows the apricots fully through with a good maltiness and a perfect amount of sugars. Overall, a damn good fruit beer - perhaps one of the better ones made. I sampled this nearly 3 year old bottle purchased from Whole Foods in Vienna, Virginia on 24-December-2005.

Bottle: Clear gold pour with a moderate sized creamy beige head. Smells like, well... apricot juice. Taste is again the fruity apricot nectar, just like I remember them when picked straight from the tree. Some light hops and more fruity sweetness. Just the right amount of carbonation. Good, for what it is (more of a fruit juice than a beer).
