Peach Apricot Ale: Worthy of a re-do

My goof-up in the bottling process for the Peach Apricot Ale resulted in a brew that is OK ...but has only the very mildest hint of fruit fragance or taste. I did find that adding an ounce of Peach Schnapps to a glass of the beer gives about the desired flavor, but sheesh, then why not just have some light ale and add a shot of Chambourd for raspberry, or whatever variety of schnapps for one's favorite fruit? Nah, I don't like that idea. I'll use this batch as bottled, either drinking as-is or adding schnapps, but will be far more careful the next time I brew it. I do think I can acheive the target flavor using the indgredients that I'd used on the first attempt ...as long as I follow the proper process next time!
