This low abv German Sour was brewed with 50% Wheat malt and fermented with our house mixed-culture. After fermentation, we aged it on Passion Fruit, Hibiscus, and dry-hopped it with El Dorado.
This beer starts life as a Hazy IPA and was dry-hopped heavily with Amarillo, El Dorado, and Mosaic. They then blended in 20% by volume of their Foeder-aged mixed culture sour and dry-hopped it again for good measure
This beer was fermented with our house mixed-culture of Lacto and Sacc strains. After fermentation, we aged it on huge amounts of Pink Guava and Vanilla.
Verdoyant is a dry-hopped sour. This time they added Mosaic to the dry-Hop blend, which also includes Chinook, El Dorado, and Amarillo. They say it is super green!
About the brewery
Île Sauvage is French for “Wild Island” and is a dual reference to the wilderness of Vancouver Island and our main focus on Belgian-style wild ales and sour beers. We make use of Kveik, Lactobacillus, and Brettanomyces fermentations, as well as secondary fermentations with fruit.
Our brewery consists of a combination of stainless steel tanks and an assortment of oak-ageing vessels. We offer a number of beers produced using sour worting methods, but we also release long-term blended, oak-aged sour beers.
Our main goal as a brewery is to release beers that excite us and our palates; therefore, a lot of the beers make use of fermentation-derived flavours, dry-hopping, and local fruit refermentations.
