Apricot Heart And Soul
Crooked Run Fermentation

beer pours a nice white head that dissipates quickly. Beer itself is a cloudy, slightly pranging yellow that strongly resembles an apricot. It is a pretty good luck.

The smell has a nice light tart note nixing with the grapefruit rind bitterness from the hops. There is a light malt sweetness underneath.

The taste is great. It has a spectacular mix between the sweetness and light tartness of the apricot and the grapefruit of the hops.

The feel is decent. Despite its medium body, it feels a bit thin.

Good. Go for it. It so delicious.

 

On tap:
Body actually looks like perhaps apricot color was added to a moderately light golden beer. Very hazy, and the head, unfortunately is about as bare as the fruit is - very thin wisp of bubbles on the surface with a broken collar around the edge.

Nose is apricot with its more tart than sweet note. A bit of citrus rind and a light grainy note, but nothing too strong is reaching me other than the highlighted fruit.

Taste is similar to the nose, but in a more confident way. Apricot up front with a grain cracker malt back. Not much sweetness. Can't quite pick out any citrus juice separately, but the bitterness is a bit orange to tangerine rind like, coming out midway into each sip.

This lighter than medium beer is refreshing, though there's a little note in the very back that has a very slight metallic aspect to it. Refreshing and enjoyable, but my rating suggests the regular beer was better without the addition.
