Apricot Wheat - A fruit wheat ale
The color of this beer is is a pale yellow, with the slightest tint of orange. The beer pours leaving a light head that disappears quickly and leaves no residue on the side of the glass. It's a beer that looks very light, crystal clear, and leaves you thinking there is no body to the beer.
The aroma given off by this beer gives off a prominent fruit smell. It smells a little fake, like a candy or even dried fruit. The smell isn't really strong, but it is there, and hard to miss. I don't really get any other smells from this beer.
On the palate it is a light tasting beer. If you are looking for something that has a ton of flavor, and body to it, then you will not like this brew. It is very light, the apricot flavor is light and crisp. It has a mild bitterness in the mild of the taste, but it is fruit up front and finishes sweet. It finishes clean with little after taste. There is not much else to this beer.
Now I know it seems like I am disappointed in this beer, but that is not the case. It is a beer that is available year round, but I would only drink it in the summer. It is light, crisp, has decent sweetness, and finishes clean. It's a nice light beer for warm weather, that if you like the taste of you could drink a few of, but also have no problem switching brews. Overall it's a decent beer. I will give it a 3 out of 5.
