Pyramid Brewing out of Seattle, WA has been brewing since 1984 as Hart Brewing, in 1996 it was reborn as Pyramid Brewing. They have expanded and now breweries and alehouses in California, Oregon and Washington. Audacious Apricot is an unfiltered wheat ale blended with fresh apricot, creating a delectible fruit brew.
A cloudy, well, apricot colour with a thick white head that doesn't retain very well but with nice lacing.
It smells of apricot with a nice counterpoint of the bitterness of the hops and a yeasty wine character.
It starts with a mixture of the apricot and the hop bitterness with the yeasty wine flavour taking over the bitterness and mingling with the apricot to finish nice and clean.
It drinks very smooth and can sneak up on you, the alcohol is hardly apparent in the taste. Certainly one of the nicest fruit beers I've tried recently and so very refreshing. If you have any slight like of apricot and of beer you need to try this.
