Aprikat, is an apricot flavored beer with a filtered wheat ale base -a North American twist on the traditional German style wheat ales Alley Kat’s style of wheat ale is brewed with 50% wheat, but fermented with our regular ale yeast. The result is a light, crisp ale with the fresh aroma and flavour of apricots substituted for the bananna and clove accents of a German wheat beer.
Aprikat’s subtle apricot aroma contrasts nicely with it’s big fruity mouthfeel. The beer pours a nice straw colour and its medium carbonation keeps it light and refreshing, perfect for a hot day on the patio or as an after dinner drink.

341ml bottle poured into tulip.
Pours a clear honey yellow with a thin cap of white head that leaves melting snowbank lace as it recedes.
Smells of trail mix apricots, white bread and mild hops.
Tastes of candied apricot, bready wheat malt and more barely detectable hops.
Feels light and fizzy. Light bodied with lively carbonation. Finishes sweet.
Verdict: Recommended, but you'd have to be thirsty.

This was overly sweet and completely one-dimensional apricot. The almost cloying sweetness almost made the apricot taste artificial (which it apparently is not).

I am not a huge fan of fruit beers, but they certainly have their place. In my world, they beg to be enjoyed on a hot day at the beach. Aprikat has a distinctive fruit flavour, but there is no doubt that it's a beer at heart.
