Sky was foeder fermented with a yeast strain native to the Big Bend region of Texas which was harvested by Community Cultures Yeast Lab. This Ocotillo strain was co-fermented with Lactobacillus and aged in our American oak foeder for 12 months, creating a unique tart saison made with Texas native yeast. Finished with a Simcoe and Nelson Sauvin dry hop, this funky, fresh wild ale will keep you coming back sip after sip in search of each new layer of flavor yet to be explored.

This is a foeder aged, and uses a yeast strain that is apparently only found in Big Bend (according to the label). Mixed with Lactobacillus, aged in oak foeders for 12 months, and dry hopped with Simcoe and Nelson Sauvin.
A: Pours a hazy orange color. At first a two finger white head forms with good retention. That gently recedes, and a touch of lace is left behind.
S: Musty basement like funky in the nose. Peach and apple cider like qualities. Funky and fruity, I like it.
T: Oh yeah, this hits my Wild Ale spot. Tart and acidic fruits, musky basement like. Fresh peach, apple, grapes and a light vinous character. Sweetness and acidity lingers on a bit.
M/O: A medium body with effervescent carbonation. While there is definitely funk and sweetness all mixed in here. The acidity cleans the palate, pulls on the cheeks a little, and makes me want to keep coming back for more.
Another really well done example of a Wild Ale from True Anomaly. All the elements from the yeast, Lactobacillus, and hops all mingle perfectly together. With a great balance. Glad I found a bottle of this, and will be looking for it more often.
