Served as a 5 oz. sample at Harvard's. The color was golden, with a ring of head. The smell was a very strong apricot. The taste was a very slight apricot over the light malt body. Mouthfeel was thin. Drinkability-wise, could maybe have one pint, but not much beyond that.
The person who I was drinking next to said "my wife would like this beer", and I don't think there was a more apt comment. Though certainly not a horrible beer, this isn't one that's high on my list either.

Pittsburgh Location.
If an Apricot Cream Ale sounds odd to you, then you've got this one figured out already. Hazy orange-amber body topped by a thin, off-white head. Smells like dried apricot. Taste is citrus and apricot, but very light, almost like a weak apricot witbier. There's an odd, lingering sour apricot aftertaste. Mouthfeel is average, maybe a bit thin. Drinkability is OK. I guess I was left wondering "Why?"
