Alberta is a great place for people that love beer and love to try new things. That goes for both the drinkers and the Brewers out there. For a place with not-really-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things a lot of people, we have a pretty outsized number of breweries that lean into wild ales, spontaneous and mixed ferments and all manner of beers that take forever to make and are big pains in the rear. It's all in the love of the game as they say.

So we are naming this one an Alberta Wild Sour, to celebrate this and, well, properly describe what this beer is. It's a mashup mixed ferment beer with custom malt from Red Shed Malting, Williamette hops from local hop yards and hybrid yeasts.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy dull orange with a voluminous, fluffy white head. Nose has a nice rustic, spicy saison yeast character, gentle bugginess, and fluffy wheatiness. Flavour has a very nice wild bugginess to it, rustic saison yeast, some fresh bittering hops, and a fluffy wheat base. Very nice wild yeast and rustic character. Really well put together. Excellent saison yeast.

Hazy and dull, with a fairly thick head. This has a big hoppy character, lots of yeast, like getting into Saison Dupont character. Dry, hoppy. Flavourful. Good stuff. Classic saison with a wild element to it.

500mL bottle. Pours murky blonde with a foamy white head. Tons of vibrant, rustic saison yeast on the nose. Flavour is also bright and rustic, some candied sugars, crisp malty base. Great carbonation. This is a really nice saison.
