Description
Based in Edmonton, AB, we’ve set up our production brewery to be 100% exclusive to mixed fermentation sour and wild beers. Our initial barrel investment allows us to guarantee that all of our beers spend time on oak during the maturation period before they are released. Additionally, all of our beers go through a minimum four stage fermentation lifecycle: initial primary fermentation, secondary fermentation on oak, a homogenizing fermentation after blending, and finally a fourth fermentation in bottle to produce the tight, silky effervescence characteristic of these unique beer styles. Some releases will also include a fifth fermentation (fruited blends) between the other fermentation steps.

Bottle, 75cl corked, at Telford's. It's an unclear, red beer with a minimalistic whitehead. Red berries, lemon and some pale malts and alcohol in the aroma. It's full-bodied and tart on the palate, with a soft carbonation. There's a hint of vinegar in the flavor, but mostly it's berries, but I can't really say I reckognize it as elderberry. Hints of lemon, funk and pale malts. Medium length finish. A nice brew indeed, but I'd like more complexity to really enjoy it. 240904

Murky amber color. Beautiful Sauvignon blanc, apricot and citrus notes. Fairly tart, good depth. Refreshing. The hop character shines on the palate but not remotely bitter

Bottle @ Telfords. Unclear golden orange body under a lacing, moderate sized white head. Mild funky aroma with citric fruits and wood. Taste is medium sweet and fruity with soft malt, mild wood and light funk. Fine body and fine aftertaste. Pleasant, easy drinkable and nice.
