Barrel-Aged Saison
Winner of the 2022 BC Beer Award for Specialty Wild Ale, this Circa 1775 Sumac and Rose Water Saison was built on a base of BC malted pilsner, raw and malted wheat, and a touch of English aromatic malt. It was then put it through a secondary fermentation in Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc Barrels from Penticton's Bench 1775 Winery before it was inoculating it with a house culture for 10 months. The blend was then conditioned on locally harvested Staghorn Sumac and Rose Water and bottle conditioned for a nice sparkling bubble in each sip.

MALT BILL: BC malted pilsner, raw and malted wheat, English aromatic malt
Both malt and yeast forward, the malt provides a sweet, candy/caramel note while the yeast provides a slight bubblegum flavour. Made with real cherries and oranges, giving this classic style beer a refreshing twist. The Abbey-style beer was originally brewed by monks in monasteries. Our ale is a different kind of spiritual experience: dark caramel with notes of orange and cherry.
