Ode To an Apricot Pale Ale
Sweet summer swells like heaven's breast
And glimmers with politest sweat
Come now our friends and take your rest
With apricot pale upon your breath
Like love and youth seasons do die
So savor sweet summer the hour is nigh
"Puck"er your lips and giv'er a try
This is beer it sure ain't Shakespeare
Tho' either is nice for a midsummer night
Sweet summer swells like heaven's breast
And glimmers with politest sweat
Come now our friends and take your rest
With apricot pale upon your breath
Like love and youth seasons do die
So savor sweet summer the hour is nigh
"Puck"er your lips and giv'er a try
This is beer it sure ain't Shakespeare
Tho' either is nice for a midsummer night

Tasty little number that smells of candied apricots and the taste backs it up. Dried apricot flavor. Nice and light and delicious. Batch 459/460

Light golden pour with a generous white porous merengue head. Definite floaties. Sticky lacing left throughout session.
Aroma of spice drop candy. Sourness and hints of vinegar.
Initial taste of some booziness followed by tartness then mild bitterness that comes and goes. Pick up on the apricot dryness and otherwise other fruity essences.
Medium body that is creamy. Carbonation is maintained throughout.
I love apricots so giving this a try without reading any other reviews. Can't say that I'm wowed but definitely worth a go. Booziness noted that does provide for a quick buzz. Would not buy again but would love to try on tap when available.
