Year of New Beer: Vapricot, Terrapin Beer Co/Cigar City Brewing (GA/FL)

Written By: Dion on 10/25/2015

Initial aroma is primarily ginger. With warmth comes definite notes of apricot, along with some orange and honey. On the tongue, it's ginger coming through loud and clear, providing a sharp, spicy bite. With rest, the apricot pulls through the mid-palate, coming off slightly sweet and sticky, while a citrus hop bitterness shows up in the finish. The 9% ABV is virtually unnoticeable. This brew cries out to be paired with food. Asian maybe? At any rate, a very unique and tasty beer.
