TART WILD ALE WITH BLUEBERRY
Tart Fruit Sour
Colour: Deep Purple
ABV: 6%
Suggested Glassware: Teku Glass
Tasting Notes: Fermented with our house-culture of Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus and refermented on hundreds of pounds of fresh blueberries from the Fraser Valley. It pours a deep reddish-purple with a pink head. Aromas of blueberry, lemon zest and tropical fruit with a hint of herbal spice, lead to flavours of red berry with a subtle minerality and soft tannins. The finish is bright, dry and refreshing, leaving you wanting more at the end of each sip.

A PALE AS OLD AS TIME CZECH LAGER
Czech Pale Lager
Colour: Pale Straw
ABV: 4.4%
Suggested Glassware: Krug
Tasting Notes: In collaboration with our friends at Farmhouse Fest, we brewed this beer to mark their yearly celebration of carefully crafted beers and ciders. This historical-style lager encapsulates everything we love and respect about brewing. Intentionally made the hard way to pay respect to the beers and brewers that have paved the path before us by using traditional methods. A triple decoction, with under-modified floor-malted pilsner malt from our friends at Hogarth Malt in Alberta provides a deep and complex grain character which is balanced by the earthy and grassy notes from the heavy additions of whole leaf saaz hops. We then lagered a portion of the beer in neutral oak barrels to add rustic notes and emulate the historical lagers of times before. Kreusened and conditioned in the can for natural carbonation which provides a smooth mouthfeel and helps carry the bitterness to the back of the palate creating high drinkability. We hope you enjoy this beer as much as we enjoy Farmhouse Fest!

PARTY ANIMAL HAZY IPA
Colour: Hazy Gold
ABV: 6.5%
Suggested Glassware: Ale Glass
Tasting Notes: A new breed of Hazy IPA. Party Animal diverts and evolves from our Missing Lynx Midwest IPA using a combination of thiolized yeast and alternative hopping methods. Wheat and oats provide a fluffy base for this hop saturated IPA. We scrapped the bitterness and used a new hop product called Incognito to amplify the juiciness. Expect aromas of ripe mango and citrus fruit with a soft, pillowy mouthfeel and low bitterness. This juice bomb will have you partying all night long!
This batch was heavily mash hopped and incorporates Citra Incognito, as well as Citra, along with New Zealand Nelson Sauvin and Motueka to amplify the tropical thiol character.
