Aprihop
 
Availability: 
 Seasonal
Aprihop is our fruit beer for hopheads!
It is an American IPA brewed with Pilsner and crystal malts massively hopped in in the continuous fashion. The flavor is complimented by the addition of Apricots.
After fermentation the beer is dry hopped with irresponsible amounts of Amarillo hops. The beer is hoppy in the aroma with the apricots playing a supporting complimentary role.
The flavor is rich with late hop flavors and it's bitterness is tempered by just the right amount of malt sweetness and fruity undertones from the apricots.
This is one of our most popular seasonal beers and we've been brewing it each spring for quite a while now. We release the beer each March and you should find it on the shelves through May."
kinda glad it only came in a four-pack
cuz its just a bit on the fruity side for me
amanda of course loves it
its her gateway kind of beer to appreciating hops
fruit those babies up, and she'll be a hops fan in no time!

although.... the further i get into my glass, the more i am appreciating the subtle apricot flavours, the hop and malt balance and that 7% is going to my head rather nicely
i'm a happy camper...
