Dogfish Head Aprihop

read about this on http://www.mtbnj.com/ .  was described as "Magic Hat #9 on steriods".  well, with a description like that.....

not gonna do a "formal" review since I didn't have the computer with me this weekend, but this was delish.

the snipets from their website quite accurate...

• Aprihop is our fruit beer for hopheads!
• ....massively hopped in in the continuous fashion. The flavor is complimented by the addition of Apricots.
• The beer is hoppy in the aroma with the apricots playing a supporting complimentary role.
• The flavor is rich with late hop flavors and it's bitterness is tempered by just the right amount of malt sweetness and fruity undertones from the apricots.

the point:  nice hoppy IPA with a subtle apricot flavor that adds interest WITHOUT being sweet.  nice. nice beer.

"Magic Hat #9 on steriods" indeed.

rating: 9.0
