Gogo Apricot is a hazy IPA beer brewed with apricots, created in collaboration between Horizon Brewery from Hungary, a new brewery from Beersheba, and Melzer Brewery from Rishon Lezion. The beer, a hazy IPA with added apricots, has an unfiltered, cloudy orange color. Its hoppy flavors are complemented by a strong fruity bitterness, with the use of apricots (about 10% of the recipe) instead of industrial fruit puree, resulting in a fruity, aromatic, and slightly sweet apricot beer.
This beer isn't too light for summer but has a full-bodied richness and flavor depth that pairs well with food.
Price:
NIS 26 for a 440 ml can.
