Rating: 3.2 / 5.0

Had from 12 oz. bottle from Hi Time Wine. Pours reddish brown with head that does not linger at all. Very slight lacing and off-white bubbles that remain through drinking. Aromas of apricot (of course), citrus, hops, and a hint of malts. The apricot flavor is surprisingly mild with the hops dominating the taste. I am not a fan of fruity beers in the least and Dogfish does a very nice job to disguise the apricot, but it’s definitely in there. The finish is dry and slightly bitter, but you do get that little hit of sweetness, that little kiss of apricot on the end. Enjoyable, but seemingly lacking something, just not sure what.
