Sampled on tap at the source on their opening weekend. Time will tell if Sylvan Lake can support two breweries, but this place should make a killing during the summer. This brew is a very pleasant version of a style I enjoy when it’s done well. It is bright gold with a nice white head, clear and active on the carbonation. The wheat is definitely the star of the show - think cracked wheat thins - very tasty stuff. Definitely looking forward to sampling some of their other varieties!

8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square - nice to see that smaller towns can support more than one brewery in these heady days of #abbeer. Not sure if this is named after an actual street in Sylvan Lake, or just a play on the use of Centennial hops.

This beer appears a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with one solid finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy bone-white head, which leaves a bit of drooping curtain lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.

It smells quite lightly of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a hint of bready crackers, some faint yeastiness, and ephemeral earthy, musty, and floral hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, a lesser spicy wheatiness, estery yeast, a hint of ground black peppercorns, and more understated earthy, leafy, and grassy green hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its structurally sound frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and sort of smooth, as some yeast astringency makes a few unwanted advances here. It finishes trending dry, the crackery malt, yeast, and spice all lingering in that particular direction.

Overall - this comes across as a pleasantly rendered version of the style, maybe a tad disjointed, but nonetheless full of flavour. A good first impression for one of the newest Wild Rose Country breweries, which I have yet to tire of saying.
