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.

Draught at Ship and Anchor, Calgary
Deep blond color. Peach aroma, a bit cheesy. Light flavor, too bitter and dry for a fruit beer.

Fairly unimpressive apricot aroma. A little bit does mix in with the smell of wheat malts. Had at Bottlescrew Bills. Taste is of light apricot and malt. There is some fruity flavoru which is perhaps peach or pear. Overly sweet and only a little bit of alcohol taste. Overall, this is more a cooler than a beer. The beer is a beatiful dark straw brown colour with no head and lite carbonation. Overall, I would buy this again, but I have higher hopes for the other Alley Kat beers.

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.

Sampled at Hop In Brew. It’s clearly extract and not apricots cut up and thrown in the mash, that worked for me at one brepub many moons ago. So the aroma is artificial. Its a lager. Yellow colour. Acidic.
