Probably better characterized as an American Pale Wheat Ale than a witbier, and the apricot is a bit on the artificial-tasting side (this is a sweet brew), but it's a pretty refreshing summer sipper.

341ml bottle, part of the current, apparently late-summer version of the Showcase mixed-pack. Nice end-of-season imagery depicted on the label.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, pale golden yellow colour, with three fingers of puffy, somewhat frothy, but mostly just aggressively fizzy dirty white head (almost like soda pop), which leaves some remote islet specks of lace around the glass as it quickly bleeds out of sight.
It smells of semi-sweet, and kind of musty apricot flesh, a grainy, doughy pale and wheaty maltiness, some soft chalky flintiness (think Flintstones vitamins), and faint earthy and leafy hops. The taste is more pungently fruity natural apricot, an equally sugary and bready wheatiness, further citrusy notes that prove their mettle by poking through the guest ingredient's stranglehold, and a still very tame earthy and kind of floral hop bitterness.
The carbonation is quite pervasive in its mouth-filling frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, the gentle fruitiness really pulling through here, even enabling an airy creaminess. It finishes off-dry, and yup, apricot-y, all other supporting characters need not apply.
Wow, they went the extra mile with the apricot flavouring in this one, which more or less overshadows a well-made, if simple witbier. Definitely summery, and a good offering to kick off the Labour Day long weekend, wherein that forlorn deckchair will possibly receive its last bit o' love for the year.
