Whabbit Wheat

This beer marries two summer beer ingredient standards---peach and apricot.  Today’s sample poured a hazy dark gold, as an unfiltered wheat ale should.  Its snow white head was dense, but fell quickly to get down to the tasting business.  Aromas noted included mild dried apricot, some green apple, and metallic canned peaches.  Upon tasting, it revealed a soft wheat background, supported by a solid, but murky apricot zestiness along with light grassy hop bitterness and flavor.  In the finish, I picked up more of the peach, which had a satiating, natural flavor in combination with light carbonation.  While I appreciated this beer’s balance, which was not heavily skewed towards fruity sweetness, it would be improved with a fresher fruit flavor profile.
