Try our spin on the traditional wheat ale. Alley Kat has managed to turn this wheat ale into a fruity delight with natural apricot extracts. Aprikat is based on North American style wheat ales. A great wheat ale stands out with a brilliantly clear and crisp taste. For Aprikat, we add a natural apricot extract to produce a nice (but not over-sweet) taste with a fresh aroma and big fruity finish. Aprikat is brewed with 50% malted wheat and fermented with our house ale yeast. Aprikat has a medium carbonation that gives a light, crisp straw-coloured pour. A favourite for cooking, Aprikat is especially perfect for Jennifer Cockrall-King’s Apricot Beer Waffles recipe. Maybe add a fruity syrup too if you’re feeling plucky. Aprikat also plays nice with pumpkin in a comforting dish from Fairmont Hotel Macdonald’s Executive Chef, Patrick Turcot: Roasted Pumpkin and Aprikat Bisque with Farm Fresh Sour Cream and Toasted Pine Nuts.

I love how often we refer to hot days with bad beer....this is not bad beer, but its just not a great example of apricot wheat beer... many others that I would prefer. Peach, fuzzy peach, sugar, some malt, medium bodied. All the little pieces are ok, but they dont seem to quite come together to make an awesome whole.

Sadly, this is drinkable. I'm tired so lets get to it. Poured out a large white cap that lasted around the rim, beer was a light amber. The aroma is of peach syrup, a weak veggie, some wheat. OK I guess but nothing exciting. Tastes of ok peaches, enough wheat and a slight spice that may go down the clove road albiet very very mild. Leaves the mouth dry and not feeling thick. Drinkable brew but don't give me another. Could be good on hot days in the yard.

The smell of this wheat ale is very enticing and sweet. Beyond the aroma this beer has little to offer. The dull bottle with plain gold cap sets the standard for a mediocre brew. The taste does nothing for me and the mouthfeel is aweful.

New label and 6 pack box, gold label and 'beer cooler' predominate on the package, $12.99CAN/6 pack. Pours out of the brown bottle a bright clear orange color. Hard to coax even a small head out of the pour. The short and quickly disappearing foam seemed to be a pinkinsh orange hue. There are full smells of aprikot, peaches and mangos coming out. Just a touch of yeasty/wheat aroma keep it from being overly sweet. Well balanced flavor, it is definatley a fruit beer, but not super sweet or sticky like a wine cooler. The apricot and peach flavor is well pronounced, but there is still enough 'beer' flavor to keep things in check. Medium carbonation keeps it light and refreshing, perfect for a hot day on the patio. Very well done

This is barley a beer its more cooler then anything else. The aroma and taste of appreciates is overwhelming and very sweet. This is a good beer to have at a party for the very feminine men or any ladies who want beer, besides that I have no use for it. It's really not all that bad tasting its just not a beer.
