Growler fill from the source.

A- A clear light golden straw color, pours with a modest snowy white head with minimal lacing.

S- At first I can really pick out just apricot, I do get stone fruits in general, that makes my mouth water. It does not smell like beer plus apricot juice, it has its own personality.

T- Well, apricot is definetly on the palate up front. It blends so well with the mellow biscuity background.

M- Nothing too special here. Light bodied, with good carbonation.

D- I am not a huge fruity beer guy, but.... This is by far my favorite. It is so easy to drink. My wife and I call this our breakfast beer when we go camping.

Good summer beer for alpine, drank out of a growler my brother brought down today. Not much excitement here for this light weight. Still managed to get through this growler but I don't think I would get it again. The smells of apricot were there but this is all I could give props for.

Perfectly balanced sweetness, fruitiness, and flowery aromatics. Very drinkable.
