Dogfish Head ApriHop

It was April when we popped open this renowned seasonal brew from Dogfish Head.  An ale brewed with Apricots was very suited for this spring weather.  Appearance was similar to that of a sweet tea with an off-white creamy head.  Aroma brought forth citrusy hops with definite fruitiness (certainly the Apricots).  Sort of a standard IPA smell but with a slight Apricot fruitiness.  The first taste was of citrus hops.  The apricots swooped in and smoothed out the taste quickly to make a unique fruity flavor that paired well with the hop bitterness.  A medium bodied beer that was not quite as crisp as a  Double IPA (DIPA) nor as viscous a darker brown ale.  Like many Dogfish Head brews, it was well balanced...very different ingredients but not over the top with it.
Overall, we were very pleased with another strange Dogfish Head creation.
