Hangar 24’s summer seasonal is a wheat beer brewed with hundreds of pounds of locally grown, organic apricots. We brew this beer during the very small window of time when the apricots are at their peak of freshness, usually early July. The pureed apricots add a wonderful fruit flavor to the beer and combine with the wheat for a refreshing tart finish. This beer goes down smooth, but at over 1.5 times the alcohol of the Orange Wheat, it can sneak up on you. Additional Information: The name Polycot (Poly=Many cot=Apricot) is a modification of the original name Paulycot. Paul-yicot was named for owner Ben Cook’s friend Paul who provided the apricots for the initial batch. Hangar 24 would also like to acknowledge and thank the many volunteers who spend hours pitting (and de-stickering) thousands of apricots for the brew. We couldn’t make this wonderful beer without you!

    This is the 2011 release. Sampled on 3/31/2012. This fruit wheat pours a cloudy orange gold/apricot color from a 22oz bottle. Small to medium sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and wheaty, apricot and semi-sweet. A medium bodied fruit wheat beer The malts are cereal, fruity and semi-sweet, with a nice clean apricot flavor. The hops are herbal and earthy. Decent carbonation. Flavors might be a little muted, as this is a year old bottle. Nice apricot flavors though. Not too sweet. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
