Name: Wild Rose Velvet Fog
Origin: Calgary, Canada
Style: Wheat Ale
Appearance: Like so many of Wild Rose’s brews, this one also produced zero head on the pour. The color is a pale yellow and just like the name, quite foggy.
Taste: The smell reminds me of young, fermenting beer, with some earthy smells in lingering in the background. The ale starts sweet, with definite fruity flavours, primarily peaches. It finishes with a dark tea-like, mildly bitter taste.
Mouth Feel: The beer is foamy and sharp on the tongue.
Final Thoughts (3 out of 5): This is a good, solid drinking ale though it lacks a lot of the character most wheat ales have. Still it is a very easy drinking beer and good from someone not accustomed to its much, much stronger and flavourful brothers.
