Review – Dogfish Head Aprihop
From Dogfish Head – A strong IPA brewed with real apricots and finished with whole leaf Willamette and Cascade hops.
Dogfish Head Craft Brewery – Aprihop – 12 oz. bottle poured into a pint glass. 7% abv.
Appearance: Pours a clear, copper red with a dense off white head. Lots of visible carbonation.
Aroma: A bold whiff of apricots (heh, who would have thought), car air freshener, and a little potpourri.
Taste: Tart apricot, apricot pit, and a little bit of hop bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Juicy.
Overall: What more can I say, it’s an apricot soda. Refreshing and interesting.

Tasted this at Dawson’s on Friday. It was interesting (though not my type of beer) and miles and miles better than the Peche. The Peche (DFH’s Peach beer) was extremely tart and just too fizzy for me. I suppose it’s refreshing enough if you’re looking for a cooler-type drink on a hot summer day, though.
