A light, silky wheat beer provides the backbone for our apricot ale, the first in ALberta and one of the first fruit beers in the province. We use a natural apricot extract to give ApriKat the perfect, orchard fresh flavour and aroma.

Pint on keg at Calgary Airport. Pours clear golden amber with a white head. Aroma: peaches, apricots, honey, a little wheat. Taste: moderate sweet, sweet malts, apricot juice, grassy, light tart. Light to medium body, soft carb, soft dry finish. Tastes a little artifical and more like juice than beer. Different for sure

On tap at Alley Kat, pours a clear dull golden with a small white head. Nose brings out fresh apricots. Flavour is light, with faded apricot. Could use some more oomph, but it's very clean and drinkable. Decent.

Draft - This is a very fresh keg and you can tell. Nice sweet apricots on the nose, much more like a juice. clear amber with a nice head that diminishes quickly. The sweetness is subdued on the flavor but still very much apricots. Not very much else in the way of flavor. A nice fruit beverage but not a great 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.

Amber color, with a HUGE, HUGE apricot nose, quick diminishing head, very sweet malty taste with …. Surprise an apricoty aftertaste, which is not surprising as they use Apricot extract in the beer

They use a quality essence to make this, but that's about it. You still have to really feel like a fruit beer.
