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.

A lightly hazed golden ipa with a thin creamy lacing white head. In aroma, sweet fruity biscuit malt with light Brett, light lactic notes, light ground cherry, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light ground cherry, light lactic notes, light Epsom salts, very nice and smooth. On tap at The Monolith.

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.

Pale amber, thick head. This beers sounds like a burly pale dbk, and that’s what it looks like, too. The nose is this boss level sticky pale bock…like pale Samichlaus level thick, with a big port finish on it…so as described, but it’s a cool take. You know damn well when port barrels landed in Hanseatic cities they were handed off to local brewers and distillers, so this concept has deep roots. More fun than truly amazing but worth it for sure…that fruitiness and hint of raisiny port is totally worth imprinting on a pale doppelbock.
