COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Our most popular fruit beer cooler. Only the finest wheat malts and natural apricot extract are used to hand-craft this fine straw coloured beer. Aprikat apricot beer cooler is a very clean, fruity beer which complements lighter foods and curried dishes. It also complements lighter desserts such as fruit plates and pound cakes.

Clear yellow. Big apricot smell. Taste is sweet and fruity. Apricot is felt in full force on the finish. Great mix of the fruit to the other ingredients.

I can see from my notes, I did not like fruit beers then, and I like them less today. To sweet, to much malt and not enough hops.

On tap at Original Joe’s in St. Albert. Pours a light amber colour, fairly thick white foam. Aroma and taste is sweet, apricots and peaches. Excellent fruit beer.

gramity (601) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 15, 2011
One finger fluffy white head soon faded to a thin layer. Weak lacing. Smells included bread yeast and fruit. Tasted of bread with a sweetish apricot finish. Mouthfeel was light but the apricot sweetness thickens the finish a bit. No major flaws but the fruit sweetness would stop me from drinking more than a couple. Judging by previous reviews it seems that the beer may have been improved lately.

MatKool (64) - CANADA - SEP 9, 2005
Very fruity nose. A cloudy yellow apperance when poured. Apricot/peach and honey accents. Nice mild hops finish and not much bite. Good for a change.

reebtogi (2159) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - AUG 18, 2011
Hazy amber-golden pour from a 341mL bottle. Small white head with very light lacing. Aromas of grain and apricots. Taste is initially sweetness of malts and apricots followed by a long dry finish. A quite enjoyable fruit beer.

Powertrip (841) - Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - APR 21, 2010
Definitve raspberry nose after a orange-reddish pour. A little bit of nutmeg in here too for a nice touch. Taste is certainly fruit dominant but also heavy on the sweet ....for me anyway. A rasp of flowers muddle about the mouth as well. Malty finish.

JoeZasada (255) - Beaumont, Alberta, CANADA - MAR 18, 2008
A amber-gold coloured beer with the aroma of apricots. The apricot flavour is the main thing here, but it tastes of beer for certain, and isn’t too sweet.
