Description
Blind Enthusiasm is driven by our passion for great beer and fine food. We brew three distinct types of beer at two locations in Edmonton. We brew crisp ales and lagers as well as complex barrel-aged beers at the Market, located alongside our restaurant, Biera. At The Monolith we’re running one of largest barrel-fermented beer programs in Canada.

Tasting at Matt's, corked bottle
Hazy blond colour. Funky and farty smell, grapes. Dry mouthfeel, some fruit (peach), but also vinegar and a feeling of rotten fruit.
Interesting aroma and mediocre flavour.

Dullish gold, with a bit of haze. No head. Light brett, oaky, has a decent malt sweetness. Some butryic in there, too... that sort of stomach acid thing. This is light-bodied, and a mellow tartness. Touch of pale malt. Kind of disappears, without leaving much complexity. And that body...still thin.

500mL bottle, pours a hazy pale golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is buggy and oaky, with a nice wild yeast character and gentle oak. Flavour is buggy, with wild yeast, some tartness, light Cheerios (DMS) and maybe some butyric. There's definitely something a bit off about this. The buggy character is pleasant, but there are too many detracting elements here. Needs work.
