Alley Kat Aprikat

Brewed by Alley Kat Brewing Company
Style: Fruit Beer
Edmonton, Canada

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
