Sea Dog Brewing Apricot Wheat Beer
Beer-a-Day #101
Pale, clear yellow with an off-white head. Lots of apricot in the aroma, and not much else. A little too much apricot in the flavor for me. I might be more disposed toward it if it were the middle of August, though.

Beer-a-Day #336 The definition of summer in a pint glass. This unique, American-style wheat beer, is brewed with 400 lbs. of fresh pressed watermelon in each batch. Light turbid, straw color, with the taste and essence of fresh watermelon. Finishes dry and clean. 5.5% ABV – 17 IBUs Summer is but a memory. It’s currently

Beer-a-Day #261 Brewed with a blend of two- and six-row barley malt, classic Aroma hops from the Willamette Valley in the Pacific Northwest and German hops from the Hallertau region in Bavaria and all-natural blueberry syrup made from real blueberries. This is actually a “stealth” faux-craft offering from Anheuser-Busch. It first hit test markets in

Beer-a-Day #245 It’s been downright cool the last couple of days. Positively autumn-like. I’m loving it. Now for something to warm the insides. A deep, mahogany ale brewed with beet sugar, green raisins, and Belgian-style yeast. As complex as a fine, red wine. Medium-dark brown with red highlights. Complex aroma. Some vanilla, prunes. Big malty

Beer-a-Day #236 The aroma of blueberries is noticeable as soon as the bottle is opened. Clear golden color with a fizzy white head. The aroma is almost all blueberry; it’s hard to detect any beer under there. More blueberry in the flavor, with a lot of carbonation. Not overly sweet, though. At under 5% ABV

Beer-a-Day #223 Our flavorful apricot ale boldly combines the taste and aroma of fresh apricot with the smooth finish of wheat malt. Its refreshingly unfiltered character and fruit flavor make it an ale worth savoring. Clear orange with a white head. The apricot aroma fairly overpowers anything else. The taste has a similar issue. It’s

Beer-a-Day #213 Looks and fizzes like a ginger ale, if a little cloudy. No head retention at all. A lot of orange in the aroma as you’d probably expect. More orange in the flavor, and not much beer. No, I don’t care for that at all. Buffalo Bill’s Brewery submit_url = ‘http://hop-talk.com/2009/08/01/buffalo-bills-orange-blossom-cream-ale/’; Related Posts:Buffalo Bill’s

Beer-a-Day #184 My favorite retailer was having a clearance sale on some out-of-season beers. Well why the heck not? The new special release is a smooth brown ale, with a touch of raspberry. Rich and toasty with a warming body and light hops, this will be a malty and perfectly fruited beer- very appealing and

Beer-a-Day #141 Our unique contribution to the fruit ale category features the nutty quench of wheat ale combined with the delightful aromatics and subtle fruit flavor contributed by Maine wild blueberries. The website says that this beer is 3.5% ABV, but the bottle proclaims it is 4.7%. Yellow and clear. Lots of blueberries in the

Beer-a-Day #105 Tax day, woo-hoo! Actually, I e-filed in the middle of February and have already received and spent my refund. I feel for the folks who left things to the last minute. This is the first of several beers that my good friend Ellen got for me. This is Dogfish Head’s spring seasonal offering.

Beer-a-Day #91 Today is my fourteenth wedding anniversary. While I don’t think of myself as Hades nor my wife as Persephone, it seems appropriate to have something a bit out of the mainstream today. It looks like hazy cream soda. Fruity aroma. The fruit is not overpowering, but I don’t know if it really improves
