IPApricot
A fruited IPA with apricot, part of Pilot's line of fruit IPAs. The brewery describes it as hoppy, juicy and packed with aromatic apricot. Oats in the grist soften the body, and the stone fruit sits on top of the hop character rather than replacing it. 5.4%. First released in 2022 and brought back since, most recently in early 2026; that batch has sold out in the brewery's shop.
