Dogfish Head Aprihop seasonal beer?

[Schecter30]

Was wondering if anyone has tried this beer from dogfish head. I was pickin up some beer today and came across it but didn't get it. I like all the dogfish stuff but im not sure about a fruit beer.

This is a great summer beer IMHO. The fruit is not overpowering and the beer is very drinkable. A must try if you are a DogFish Fan.

Been looking for that for awhile now, I keep missing the season. Glad to know it's out now, I'll have to go grab some!

FWIW, most of their other 'flavored' beers still taste mostly like beer. And I can't imagine a bad DFH! (Except 'Fort', can't stand that stuff)

It's a fruit beer, but a very well balanced one: both bitter and
slightly tart (from the apricots,) with a nice sweetness from the malt and maybe a bit o'honey. The apricots & hops go better together than I would
have thought. This is still a well hopped Dogfish Head beer, as you
might expect. Definitely worth a try, especially if you are an
IPA-lover and are interested in something a little different.

I like the apricot beers on the market, particularly the Pyramid Apricot Weizen.

I really like this too, but then again I am big apricot fan.

Sorry. I just can't imagine this being good. Do these come in 4 or 6 packs?

Trust me it's not fruity. It's just a hint of apricot.
To me Sam Adams Summer Ale has too much lemon in it.
Dogfish Aprihop has even less apricot taste than that.

Very good beer BTW.

I think you will like it Jason.

I wasn't a huge fan of the DFH Black and Blue either....but the Aprihop is a decent summer beer. I rarely reach for it when there's so many other wheat beers that command my attention.
