Apricot Pale Ale
Inbound BrewCo

Had on tap. Bright copper body with good carbonation. Sure there is apricot on the nose, but I am also getting a lot of flowers, biscuit, sweet tea, and caramel malts. Taste is sweet and slightly tart apricot and citrus followed by caramel malt backing with the sweet tea flavors as the bridge, finished with floral and sneaky bitter hops. Body is a little thin and hops don't hit hard, but the apa pale features are there underneath the apricot textures.

16oz can served in a tulip. No date that I see. Gift from a friend at work.

Pours a clear deep amber-bronze with a nice head and decent carbonation. Smell is mild, a little biscuit and a little fruit.

Taste is similar, apricot comes across a little bit but not a lot, mostly gives a mild fruity character. Bitterness is a bit weird, and I'm not sure where it's coming from.

Mouthfeel is medium bodied to thick, not too sticky. Overall, it's not bad, but not exciting.

This beer pours a deep amber with a smallish head. The aroma is large with a big floral and fruit aroma, with purple grape, citrus blossom, white tea, overripe apricot, and blueberry. The flavor is much more subtle with white tea, underripe peach, papaya, apricot, and a mild finishing bitterness. The mouthfeel is somewhat full, with moderate carbonation. Overall this is a really lovely beer, subtle, an filled with unexpected flavors.

L: brilliant amber permeated with streams of rapidly rising bubbles under a 2" ecru colored cap with good retention

S: Apricot is the primary aroma with biscuit and a hint of pie crust in the background

T: Starts with apricot and biscuit and it has a moderate hop bitterness that works very well with the apricot flavors

F: mildly creamy with a medium body and carbonation

O: a flavorful, sessionable beer

 

 

Look: copper, small head, sparse lacing. Aroma: sweet, under attenuated, rotten apricot. Taste: more rotten fruit, bile. Finish: short, thankfully. Mouthfeel: medium bodied. Comments: props to Inbound for making a beer taste the same going down as it would coming up. Too bad 'vomit' isn't a flavor most drinkers want.

 

 

 

 

First beer from these guys,the apricot is really present on the nose. Has the look of a classic APA, golden amber hues, very clear. The taste is waves of apricot, which gives this a crisper feel than a typical APA. Great lawnmower beer.
