Remember the article where I made all the pear puns? I won’t do that to you again (this time), but man… this beer is apricoty as all get out. I tell you whut, if you wanted some apricotness in your beer, look no further and accept no substitutes – this bottle is the real deal Bill McNeil.
Who doesn’t love a good Newsradio reference, huh? I wonder if William Shatner’s career would be so stellar if Phil Hartman was still around? I doubt it, and I also doubt that the Sea Dog Apricot Wheat Beer would be any less apricoty if that was the case.
Sorry – horrible segue. Let’s talk about the beer.
All right – I just went to the Sea Dog website and completely LOL’d:
Sea Dog Apricot Wheat Beer is a crisp and quenching wheat ale with a subtle essence of fresh apricots.
Oh, it’s subtle all right. The apricot essence has the subtlety of a Grammy entrance by Lady Gaga. I believe that Slick Rick said it best; ain’t no way to put it subtle, when he want the Apricot Wheat Beer from Sea Dog. You better be ready for a faceful of apricots when you crack one of these babies open.
That being said, I’ve got an extra two of these, and I’m going to use ’em for beermosas! Can’t wait for Sunday morning!
