Apricot Beers are a weird thing.

They are light and refreshing, and generally not an overbearing flavor; but one you definitely have to search for.

In that regard, this pairing of the Explorer’s Crypt, worked well. However flavor wise, it’s more of a bright crisp flavor for this beer.

In other words, don’t do a bright crisp beer, while you are playing around in a tomb/crypt and you are surrounded in death

I think tomb’s and crypts could potentially pair well with Baltic Porters… I’ll keep that in mind for next time.

Otherwise; I wasn’t really digging THIS apricot beer, (I still like Pyramid’s and Magic Hat #9 better, Ithaca’s too).

But it is definitely still enjoyable. There is a certain time and place for Apricot… and this was not it.
