On tap at GABS in Melbourne, May 2014.
Pours a straw colour, very cloudy indeed. Off-white head colour, quite webbed out with visible bubbles. Sticks around nicely. Good-looking wheat beer.
Smells fruity, and not much else. Touch of passionfruit to it but mostly the apricot that it promises. I get that, but still would like a bit more character to round it out. Just smells a little fruity.
Taste is better. Still mostly fruity, with apricot upfront and continuing throughout the palate. Touch of apple/pear midway and maybe a hint of passionfruit. Decently balanced towards the back though with a touch of wheat beer spice, maybe coriander-esque. Pleasant drop.
Body is a little thin, allowing carbonation to tingle through.
Decent flavours here, doesn't overstretch the apricot. Not bad.

An apricot wheat beer, brewed originally for GABS 2014, which is where I tried it.
Pours a pale golden straw colour with a very light body and some haze. Head is rocky and coarse-bubbled, leaving a white crest and some middling lace. Looks decent without being terribly good.
Nose is reasonably pleasant. A touch of stonefruit comes through from the apricot, along with a very little mild pepper. It's a little weak, but it's fragrant enough in its way.
Light dried apricot comes through on the front palate, but the wheat and the fruit contribute to a sweetness through the centre, along with a touch of acid. Some stringy brightness adds a little fragrant elements before a buttery biscuit note comes through on the back. It's fine enough.
Feel, surprisingly, has a little smoothness to it, which really helps bolster some of the flavours.
Overall, it's nice enough stuff, but only really okay, not spectacular.
