Name: Fernie Brewing Company’s ‘What The Huck’ Huckle Berry Wheat Ale
Origin: Canada, BC
Style: Fruit Wheat Ale (5%)
Appearance: A foggy, orange and peach coloured ale. It poured with a nice, large head that had excellent retention.
Taste: The smells are of sour berries, most likely the huckleberry, some notes of nectarines. The initial impressions are a lot of different fruit-based flavours. Sour berries, nectarines are the most apparent. Some citrus notes as well. There is a slightly sweet, malty flavour, but it is very subtle. Aftertaste finishes sour and is short lived.
Mouth Feel: A very foamy, very filling ale. The body is light and despite its sour palette, this wheat ale is quite refreshing.
Final Thoughts (3.0 out of 5): A good ale overall. I enjoyed the use of sour fruits, rather than sweet fruits as it lent towards are more ‘beer-like’ flavour, rather then a fruity cocktail.
In the deep south of Alerta, along the Crowsnest Highway there are hundreds of Wind Power stations dotting the landscape.
