ALE APOTHECARY SAHALIE
Maker: Ale Apothecary – Oregon
STYLE: Mixed Fermentation, Wild Ale
ABV: 9.4%
IBU: N/A
NOTES: My good friend Matt Ward, aka, Bend Brew Daddy was nice enough to shoot us over this bottle of goodness and it is hands down on of the coolest beers we have tried to date. Sahalie is one of Ale Apothecary’s main beers and it is like no other wild beer you will have in the country. Brewed in small batches and only found in Oregon, this mixed fermentation ale is pack with all sorts of funk. Sipped slowly over an hour it developed all sorts of notes. Fruit and barn yard are dominant and its the perfect amount of tartness without being overly acidic. Sour fans should seek it out as it is really something special and a testament to how awesome our sour makers are here in the U.S.
