Melbourn Brothers Apricot

We felt that we should get a little bit into the fruit beer game. An Imperial and an Ale are well and good, but some out-there flavors are a nice change of pace every once in a while.

This beer from Belbourn Brothers pours a nice, golden brown/amber with a transparent quality. It's very carbonated but produces no head, although it has a decent film. It smells like apples and has an overly fruity scent to it. Though, you can't really detect the apricot. It basically tasted like apple cider. It has a thin consistency with very little body. But, it has a brilliant taste - I could easily chug this with how good it tastes. As noted before, the texture is quite thin. There's nothing else to note aside from the fact is has a nice fizz as you drink it.

Overall, I'd say this is a great beer to have during the falltime with a dessert or hearty meal. It's like 3.5% so you could definitely have a lot without feeling off. Quite a nice novelty brew.

Appearance - 3.6
Smell - 4
Taste - 4.4
Texture - 3.2
Overall - 3.8/5
