I have never heard about this band before until today, when I was finding a Metal Connection song for this beer. The “music” is provided by the voices of these individuals. The band is consisted of five vocalists, and a drummer, no guitars, no bass. Van Canto is exactly what it’s described to be, a Power A Capella Metal band. Metal Connection: Heavatar is a Power Metal band from Germany that was started by Stefan Schmidt, who is one of five vocalists for the Power A Capella group, Van Canto, which is a very interesting band, to say the least. It’s too bad a lot of these become shelf turds, cause of these asshole Haze Boys that turn the other cheek at all these other styles of beer. In this day of what seems like nothing but hazy New England IPAs and Pastry Stouts, it’s refreshing to see these other beers surface. Overall, I was pretty impressed with this beer. The finish remained slick, leaving a slick coating in my mouth. There was mild carbonation present within this one. I guess we shall see.Īpricadabra had a slightly over medium thickness with a slick mouthfeel. But since there is no fucking info on their sites about this beer, not sure if it will be released again.
I am wondering what a fresh bottle of this wold taste like. I really enjoyed the way the flavors blended here, and considering it was past the best by date, the flavors really held up well. The added Apricot adds a bit of tartness and blends perfectly with the Hefeweizen backdrop. There was a nice refreshing body of wheat or hay, and grains with that hint of banana that you expect from a Hefeweizen. The flavor profile was right up there with the aroma. The added apricot was present, adding a slight tartness to the aroma that blended well with the banana and wheat notes. The base, of course being a Hefeweizen, so there was a nice nose of banana, hay or wheat, and light grains. As I drank this beer, there was a lot of lines of lacing left down the glass. The color was bright golden and the initial pour left a large white foamy head that was just over an inch thick. I poured this beer into a Town in City Brewing Company shaker pint glass. OK, small rant over! Now let’s get to this beer. Bullshit! Ashamed much, maybe? I hope not, cause this beer was actually pretty damn tasty! I mean, you fuckers brewed it, you fuckers released it, but now you fuckers have no word at all whatsoever about this beer.
By the way, not sure what the status is of this beer in their portfolio, because nowhere on the Harpoon or UFO sites does it list anything about this particular beer. I drank this beer on October 28th, just a few weeks ago. I was really looking forward to this beer when I bought it, but in typical Beer Metal Dude fashion, I held onto this one past the Best By Date, which was 06/15/18. A couple of them being part of their famous UFO Series, which now has it’s own website as of 2017, just dedicated to the beers that are labeled as UFO. According to my Untappd account, I have had several different beers by Harpoon, dating back to 2011. On the day I drank this beer, I had just finished drinking Apricot Cider by Tieton Cider Works, so I thought to myself, what the Hell, I’ll drink another apricot beverage as I grabbed this UFO Apricadabra by Harpoon Brewery from Boston, MA.
