The Ale Apothecary Sahalie American Wild Ale at 9.32% ABV (C$40.44 at Willow Park Wine & Spirits, 750 ml, packaged on 24-Mar-2016, acquired 13-Oct-2016, reviewed 7-Sep-2017)
Appearance: hazy pale amber with one finger of loose off-white head settling to a thin cap, minimal lacing. (4/5) Aroma: complex, red wine, oak, stone fruit, caramel, malt vinegar, earthy funk. (9/10) Taste: moderate-high tart, moderate sweet, low bitter. (9/10) Palate: medium body, lively carbonation, short tart finish. (4/5)
Big and complex. Similar to El Cuatro, but more red wine barrel notes than white. Truly and stupidly overpriced, like all their beers, but closer to worth it than some. (17/20)
8.5/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
