Though cloudy in appearance it was clean and refreshing to taste. I found it to be tart and tangy with just the right amount of sweetness. I don't feel like I'd drink more than one of these in a sitting, but for those who like fruity summer beer this is perfect.

Color is banana-yellow, thick and looks similar to Gerber baby food.
Smell is extremely sweet, pure apricots. Very overwhelming but very good if apricot is what you are looking for here. Taste is similar to the smell but not quite as powerful. Very light in body and strength. The only thing hindering drinkability is its sweetness.
This is a very sweet and fruity beer. Not really my style, but not bad.

Not really my cup of tea, but an interesting brew nonetheless. Light, dirty orange color with a small white head. Smell was very sweet, with lots of apricot and some citrus aromas as well.
Taste was overly sweet for my liking, with apricots dominating the flavor. There's some light lemongrass and citrus peels, and a fairly crisp finish from the carbonation helps tame the sweetness. If you're looking for a fruity beer, this may hit the spot for you. But it's a bit too sweet for me.
