Taste Notes
Apricot and wheat beer are a natural fit, and many craft brewers across the US brew this style of beer. A can of Vintner’s Harvest 100% fruit Apricot Puree is added to a base of American Wheat Beer in the secondary fermenter, so you’ll make a beer that has full fruit flavor, aroma, and even a bit of texture of Apricot- unlike many Apricot beers that use only extract flavoring. Secondary Fermentation can take two weeks for all the fruit sugars to be consumed. For an incredibly juicy, fruity aroma and flavor add 2-4oz of Apricot Natural Fruit Extract to taste just before bottling.
