This beer is really named Summer Harvest and weighs in at 4.5% ABV! Draft. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has strong notes of apricot. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of apricot, combined with medium notes of wheat ans light notes of spices. The body is light. Too much apricot for my liking.

Bottled from Bierzwerg. Caramel color with medium white head. Fruity, syrupy aroma. Tastes like very weak lemonade with hints of malt. Very quick finish. Almost no taste.

Pours amber/ruby with a creamy small head.Nose isn’t great. Shows some caramel and nutty notes, but quite dirty.Flavours are very malty, loads of caramel and bready hints. Finishes with a mild bitterness.Nice moderate carbonation, works surprisingly well with the richer flavours.Apart from the aroma, pretty good!
