Pyramid Apricot Ale

Pros: Good, balanced taste. Better than other fruit beers
Cons: Not enough foam; yeast in bottom of bottle

Pyramid Brewing Company is one of the largest craft- breweries in America. It opened up in 1984, in Kalama, Washington, making it one of the first microbreweries in the nation.

Pyramid’s product lineup includes about a dozen beers. Only one...

Pros: Hard to find.
Cons: Working your way through the whole bottle.

If you actually name your beer Audacious Apricot Ale you better be pretty darn sure that the product that you are releasing meets the highest of standards. And if you don't meet the highest of standards the likely response will be, "Can you ...

Pros: Apricot flavor, not thick or sticky.
Cons: Not for everyone.

I decided to step off the beaten path for my next review and try something different.  This review will contain two firsts for me.  My first beer review from the Pyramid brewery and my first review of a fruit flavored beer.  While I had ...

Pros: Widely available, tasty fruit beer
Cons: Fruit may be overpowering for some

It just so happens that I have two bottles of Apricot ales this evening. I thought it would be fun to compare the two against each other in back to back reviews here on Epinions. After reading this review it is therefore mandatory that you read my second ...

Pros: An excellent, well-balanced fruity ale
Cons: May be considered girlie due to 'fruit factor'

A bit apprehensive in purchasing ‘fruity’ beer at my local market, Pyramid Apricot Ale instilled in me a newly found appreciation for just that genre of ale. I do not like one extreme or the other, being either watered-down or too bitter and...

Pros: Soft, sweet, powerful apricot essence
Cons: "Chick beer" image

Every now and then I like a good fruit beer. Not every day. But once in a while, there's nothing that really quenches the thirst of a hot afternoon nor that seems quite as right for the occasion as a well made fruit beer. I've been hearing a lot of good...

Pros: Pronounced apricot and wheat taste
Cons: This isn't going to be for everybody

Adding fruit to brew is actually an old technique, as brewers in Europe and colonial America tried many different flavorings. Some of these attempts just do not work. Normally, the closest thing to a fruit beer I will drink is some good old Woodchuck...

Pros: Incredible taste
Cons: Cost and difficulty to find at times

I would love to find out how many of the people who label beers like this as "chick beers" actually have this beer in their fridge right now. Count me in.
Pyramid Apricot Ale is brewed in Washington by Pyramid brewerys. This pretty much...

Pros: Great flavor, taste, may spur alcoholism
Cons: Socially unacceptable for men to drink fruit beverages

When I stole one of my roommates Pyramid Apricot Ale's, I expected it to taste a lot more fruity, almost like some type of a fruit juice. This was not to be found, at least initially. It tasted pretty much like a premium beer at first. What I did find...

Pros: Light body, not overpowering
Cons: None to speak of, if you like beer, you should like this beer

So many breweries, so many beers! I love this new "beer" category, it definitely deserved a place of it's own on the website. I have been sifting through the never ending beer titles they have in this category, adding them to my "love it", "hate it"...

Pros: refreshing, natural flavor
Cons: none

Pyramid Apricot Ale surprised me. It is one of the best American fruit beers that I have had. When I poured the first glass I could instantly smell the apricots jumping out of the bottle. One of my friends said "it smells like flowers."...

Pros: Absolutely tasty.
Cons: Hard to find at times- can't find it at all right now.

After a hard day of being a computer technician, I came home to my fiancee cooking dinner. This in and of itself is sometimes scary, as her cooking is known to spontaneously combust.
I digress.
When I checked the fridge, there was a six-pack...

Pros: just the right amount of apricot
Cons: none that I can think of at the moment

OK, maybe that's somewhat of a simplistic view of Pyramid's Apricot Ale but that is exactly what I thought after I took my first sip. Well, actually, it was more of a gulp. Maybe I found it so delicious because it was the first beer I had in over a...

Pros: Agreeable, unusual taste
Cons: Have only found it in one bar, few distributors

The first time I ever had the pleasure of consuming this lovely, frothy beverage, I was at my favorite bar with my favorite friends. This bar ( http://www.brewscafe.com/ ) specializes in having a six pack of every microbrew and import known to Central...

Pros: refreshing taste
Cons: better drink it quick

I'm not usually one to grab a fruit beer, but I do have a fondness for apricots, and I knew this beer wouldn't look like a girly-looking pink concoction. I've been impressed with Pyramid brews before, but I had no preformed opinion as I twisted the cap....
