Pretty much. Less body and pepper spice but I get more cinnamon from Xocoveza than MC. The nutmeg in Xocoveza is nice also. Never had Huna but i've heard similar comparisons between it and Xoco.
Not in any order:
Pliny
Sculpin
FBS
Torpedo
Fortunate Island
All somewhat readily available stuff of course.

Feeling worlds BETTER right now. I had a growler set aside from Saturday afternoon that I thought was elevated.. I didnt want it to go bad so I crack it open tonight. Souriness. A bit saison/hefe yeasty like. Then I remember they had a saison/farmhouse on tap for the party. I think they mixed up my order.. This was NOT the beer I wanted to reintroduce my palette to beer.. Odd ball souriness in the backend. Actual fruit prescence seems so muted. Maybe this is elevated and it went bad? Not a great mixup to have happen when I'm jumping back into beer (albeit 3 days later lol). It tries to be crisp but is just a bit overly heavy in the mouthfeel. This may be a drainpour fellas.
Sadly I dont really know what it should totally taste like. maybe I am still sick.. I think growler fills were $26 on this. I paid $9 for what I thought was an IPA.. A win for the ABV junky. A loss for my palette right now.

^I am. What you looking for? I'm about 40 mins North of the City so if it's something down there, it'd be a little harder to get than up by me.

^If you can find it, and while it's actually the only one I had (recently), fine Bell's VENUS. It's their 2nd addition to their planet series and I actually really liked it.

Pyramid Apricot Ale. It's a wheat beer so it's fairly unoffensive to most people.

Cascade Apricot is a great sour, but it will set you back.

I've never had an apricot beer, but I've had Lindemans Peche. Pretty tasty, and I would recommend it.

Dry Dock's Apricot Blonde is pretty great.
And I really like Dogfish's Aprihop too.

^ I don't know if I'd call it a "great" but I agree it's very good and something I can quite a bit of

White Christmas has that coriander/slight blue moon type of flavor. Solid when in between drinking heavier beers. Nice intro beer for those weary of craft this holiday season. Most Sam Adams appear this way now. Nothing profoundly flavor wise, strikes out to me with their beers anymore. Although I had a Boston Lager the other day. I caught some sort of smokiness in the taste. I hear of their sales of BL and fans being afraid of trying other craft beers. BL is nothing to laugh at. I wouldnt even consider that a true gateway beer. It has some unique flavor. It's odd that people jump into that beer or brand willingly and not the others.
Same with Pyramid Apricot Ale. I think I can down too many of them now. Abv is mellow. Taste seems a bit artificial, like Shock Tops are, so I am not surprised the BA score of 78 sits with apricot ale. It has a slight fruity taste. I compare it to the Abita purple haze beer. It almost doesn't even taste like a beer.
