On draft at local Lethbridge pub.
Unfortunately, Wild Craft has decided to retain a decidedly inferior brewer to put their product on the market before their own brewery is ready to produce their own product.
Appearence: Clear semi dark amber with small head and reasonable lacing.
Smell: Malt, grassy, mild pine, undefined sweetness
Taste: Syrupy sweetness with artificial tasting bitterness. No balance of malt and hops characteristic of a well made IPA.
Feel: Reasonable carbonation, oily, sweet finish.
Overall: Not a beer I'll ever order again. Hopefully when Wild Craft opens their own facility with their own brewmaster we'll be able to enjoy a locally brewed IPA with the crisp hop flavours and balance we've come to enjoy from many excellent BC breweries.

355ml can. Ok, Wild Craft's oh so secret contract brewer makes crappy lagers and amber ales. What about IPAs - I'm kind of scared to find out - is it wild and/or hoppy?
This beer pours a clear, bright medium bronzed amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, densely foamy, and mildly creamy ecru head, which leaves some decent sedimentary rock lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of bready, doughy caramel malt, tame stale citrus notes, wet pine, a touch of yeast, and earthy, faintly grassy hops. The taste is gritty, grainy pale and caramel malts, a sort of floor cleaner-esque pine essence, ethereal orange rinds, a hard water acridity, and plain weedy, grassy hops.
The bubbles are fairly understated in their uneven frothiness, the body a so-so medium weight, and generally smooth, the hops not up to messing about here. It finishes off-dry, the piney and grassy character bobbing about, while the malt starts to cut and run.
Definitely the best of the three offerings currently available from this brewing concern, but that's a relative thing. It is actually drinkable, compared to the amber and so-called pilsner, but Wild Hops still pales in comparison to any true craft IPA made in either Alberta or British Columbia.
