Bottled. Bright pale golden. Sweet apricot jam aroma. Syrupy and very sweet. There’s some acidity in the background, but not nearly enough to balance the onslaught of the apricot jam.

Bottle. Strawberry and malt aroma. Amber color - slightly cloudy with small head. Sweet-tart malt and strawberry flavor - no bitterness at all and not too sweet. Enjoyable fruit beer

Smells erupt as soon as it’s opened... but it gets to be too much like cheap extract than anything else... as does the taste. The first sip was nice- by the end of the glass, I thought it tasted funky- like a jolly rancher was dropped into a glass of beer. Not worth the price.

Golden color, slight hints of orange or amber. No head. Smells of fresh apricots. Flavor is slightly beery apricot- not the best I have had, but not bad at all.

Bottle Pours a light golden amber with a decent white head that slowly dissipates leaving modest lacing. Aroma is of a very light lager or heffeweizen with only a trace evidence of any apricots that may be in there. Much more flavorfull however witha nice fairly sweet apricot/apple taste. Slightly on the sweet side but very drinkable esp as the ABV is quite low. My 3rd Lambic of the night and only the Lindemans are better so far. A little more apricot flavor would have been nice. Met my expectations however. Finish is smooth, soft carbonation and a faint fruity aftertaste. Not Bad

A pinkish red beer with a fine lasting off-white head. The aroma is sweet with hints of strawberries and wood. The flavor is sweet but with hints of sourness from the wild fermentation in the background and notes of strawberries and wood.

A dark yellow beer with a fine though disappering white head. The aroma is dominated by peach and fruit and is sweet and somewhat artificial, not a beer aroma. The flavor is sweet dominated by peach and rather artificial though with woody notes. It has no hints of the wild fermentation.

A red beer with a huge lasting pink head. The aroma is sweet and totally dominated by ripe cherries. The flavor is sweet and also dominated by cherries but with notes of wood. The end is dry more than sour, so calling it a kriek is a little far out.

Outstanding - flavorful and refreshing - light, yet crisp and tart to force you to sip it slow and enjoy it all - tastes like there’s blended strawberries mixed in, very natural flavor - I agree with apoptosis, this is very much like the New Glarus fruit beers, which, of course, is a good thing.

Straw colored, moderate lacing, high carbonation - yeasty aroma, with a general fruitiness that I probably wouldn't identify as apricot if I didn't know what it was supposed to be - the same can be said of the flavor, generally fruity - a sweet/tart combination very much like a cider, but a grainy malt character lets you know it's a beer - crisp and delicate - well-balanced considering the fact that tart and sweet are two characteristics that are easy to get out of whack - not my thing, but recommended for those who like the style. (loses some points for the $7 price - sorry, it's not worth that much)
