On tap at the Beagle Pub on Vancouver Island.
Pours hazy apricot-golden with a decent white head.
The appealing aroma is completely dominated by apricot preserves. So too with the flavor.
Overall: Apricots!

330ml bottle - so named after Wayside Park?
This beer pours a hazy, medium golden amber colour, with four fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves a bit of broken cobweb lace around the glass as it very slowly recedes.
It smells of pungent apricot puree, a further indistinct fleshy fruitiness, grainy and doughy caramel malt, a hint of earthy spice, and some ethereal musty, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is thick apricot juice, bready and doughy pale malt, a weak biscuity wheatiness, subtle coriander and black pepper spice, a trace of estery yeast, and more well-understated leafy, weedy, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its palate-taunting frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as it warms up a tad out of the gate. It finishes off-dry, the lingering apricot not laying up on the gas against the fading mixed malt.
Overall - yeah, if you're not into apricots, maybe avoid this one. On the other hand, if you're like me and enjoy them, then hold on to your hat, you're in for a ride! I'm kind of surprised (if pleasantly so), given my history with this brewery, but they've created a very flavourful, simple, and yet engaging summer tipple, and for that, I say, good job!
