This is by far the most popular beer we've made. Everyone seems to like it. I think my group of friends has made five batches so far.

Apricot Ale

Review by Todd S. on 12/5/2009

Pros: Light crisp taste with a full bodied fruit background. Great carbonation. Easy to make. Lasted approx 4 months after refridgerated and tasted the same as the first bottle.

Cons: If you don't like fruit taste you won't like this. My friends that taste tested liked it or didn't care for it. there was no middle ground.

Apricot Ale

Review by Kay D. on 8/5/2009

Pros: Easy directions to follow. This is the second kit that I've made and found this one to be superior in quality. The taste is smooth and refreshing on a hot day. Williams brewing kits are the easiest to use and produce a quality product.

Cons: Although the directions are easy to follow, one has to be familiar with the process to be successful.

Apricot Ale

Review by Nathan A. on 1/7/2009

Pros: This was my first crack at brewing. I have made 6 since and I still love this ale. I am experimenting with different extract flavors with this one added during priming, just before bottling. I am making this batch again and I am overwhelmed with the quality of William's products. The hops are so much fresher than 3 other companies that I have tried over the past year and half. Also the directions are by far the easiest to follow of the other kits I have used.

Cons: I agree with other brewers that the malt bags are the only downside. I prefer the malt extract to be in a small plastic jug (which is easier to warm and drain). I don't think the malt extract coming in a bag is a too big of a deal. I think the easy to use boxes and kit directions are far more important and a couple of good squeezes over the pot usually gets 95% of the malt out of the bag.
