16oz can courtesy of my brother

Opaque orange with white suds that last. Smell is funky sour apricot. Feels really creamy and smooth, slightly sour, filled with bright apricot flavor and just a nip of lemony hops. Lovely

Will enjoy again

Can. Peach gold color.

Very simple blonde with a nice adjunct. Pretty easy drinking. Fruity. Not to sweet or artificial. Solid summer fruited beers. Light bodied. Nice feel.

In the eye: hazy, apricottish coloring, slim white head, looking very nice.

In the nose: Sweetness and fruit, minimal bitterness, quite pleasant.

In the mouth: Apricot sweetness blesses the palate first, and glides all over the tongue. Light bodied. Easy-drinking. Slight bitterness pops up a little bit. Nice carbonation. Sweet, fresh fruit is all over this. When the can is empty, you can crush it. As for the beer, it's good and you can drink it. It's quite delicious.

Poured from a tall can into a tulip.

Pours hazy (but not full-on cloudy/murky) orange/apricot (of course) gold with a three-finger fluffy white head that has good retention.

The apricot aroma is very dominant, with only hints of other "things" (a touch of hops, a bit of floral).

The flavor definitely follows the nose. If you like apricots and beer, this is the brew for you. Fairly sweet apricot flavor dominates, with a touch of acidity in midstream. The hops arrive at the very end, with more punch than expected, but in a good way. It balances things.

The brew has a smooth creamy texture and relatively low carbonation.

Overall, a better than average fruity brew.

Apricot Blone pours a bronze color, with a small head. Sweet, dry fruit aroma. Flavor is sweet, but not overdone, nice apricot flavors. Good body and feel. Overall, it s a fruit forward beer, not overpowering, very drinkable and enjoyable.

Pours an opaque yellow orange with a thin white head. Smells strongly of apricot, peach, and a bit of biscuity malt. Taste is sweet apricot, citrus, malt forward with a smooth and sweet finish. Light to medium bodies with medium carbonation. Absolutely delicious.

Pours an apricot colored yellow/orange with a huge pillowy white head that recedes quickly but leaves generous lacing. Aroma is as expected heavily apricot. Flavor is sweet without being cloyingly so. Very little bitterness at the end. The feel is soft and lightly carbonated. Great fruit beer.

For a fruit beer, it's one of my favorite. It lands more on the sweet side of beers so if you're looking for a heavy beer flavor you'll likely be underwhelmed. Personally, it's one of my favorites and refreshing. The apricot nose is extremely appetizing.

L: hazy gold under a 2" light cream colored cap with good retention

S: Apricot dominates the aroma supported by biscuit and low hop aromas

T: Mildly sweet big apricot flavors dominate with a trace of tart and a dash of bitterness on the finish

F: The body is medium and the carbonation is medium low to medium

O: The beer is a little too sweet and a little too close to apricot juice with a dash of beer in it

Poured out a clear, bright golden color with a small, white head of foam. Apricots dominated the nose. Not much else. Tasted sweet with a fresh picked ripe apricot flavor. Low bitterness.
