On tap at Pompton Craft House, tart apricot entry receives lemon-soured clementine spritz and briskly peppered hop pep for crisp summertime moderation loosely based on a pallid Belgian blonde.
On tap at Buffalo City Jug Shop, fluffily creamed apricot subtlety caressed by sunny grapefruit-peeled mandarin orange tang and tart white peach snip above soft pale wheat bed. Needs more resilient upfront apricot thrust.
Precisely replicating a dried apricot, delectable fruited blonde stays resilient. Sweet, tart and sour apricot plot picks up reluctant fig spicing over honeyed wheat base for summery fermented fruit ale.
On tap at Poor Henry's, fruity summertime Belgian blonde merges honeyed apricot with spiced fig and dried peach tartness over cracked wheat spine. Sour apricot finish gains candied sweetness over time.

Lingered dried apricot souring, scurried peach-raspberry-banana sweetness, and piquant honeyed floral rush create hard candied butterscotch illusion for friskily dry-hopped American wheat beer. Ripe peachiness oddly edged out by phenol plasticity at buttery popcorn finish, though citric zing remains.
