Whistler Brewing Co. Wayside Apricot Wit – Witbier at 5% ABV | 15 IBU (C$3.95 at Collective, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 29-May-2020, reviewed 2-Jun-2020)
Appearance: hazy pale amber with one finger of loose white head diminishing rapidly to a thin ring, no lacing. (2/5) Aroma: tart apricot, doughy wheat, light spice. (6/10) Taste: moderate-high sweet, moderate tart, low bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, sticky sweet tart finish. (3/5)
Meh. The apricot is overwhelming and floral, almost perfume-like. At least the spice (coriander and pepper?) isn’t overwhelming, but this is just far too much sticky fruit to be anything resembling refreshing. (12/20)
