Review

I brewed this a few months ago and tasted it about a week after bottling. The apricot at that stage had somewhat of a plastic taste to it and really wasn't a good beer to drink.

After about 2 months the beer matured and the apricot began to blend into the beer. At this time the apricot taste was suttle and the beer was much better! The beer was a bit crisp and was best served with a strawberry added to the mix.

Conclusion

In the beginning I was not very impressed with this beer but the more the weeks pass this beer has become much better. I was also impressed t I how well it turned out considering I didn't use a WYeast but rather the dry yeast that came packaged with the kit. Definitely would make this beer again as it was very easy to make and required little or no work.
