"Nice strong smell. Tastes good. Can't find the apricot. But when the beer warms up which I saved for the last sip, it might be a little like apricot."

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 complemented 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 its 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.

In conjunction with the 2011 release of Aprihop - we're excited to share the first of our 2011 limited edition Seasonal screenprints from artist Dave Plunkert. They go on sale 3/1/11 and will be available until they are gone!
