About This Beer

 La Baie Sauvage, “the wild berry,” is a Lambic aged on huckleberries, an untamed fruit, similar to blueberries, that has yet to be successfully cultivated anywhere in the world! Consequently, the fruit the world-class brewers at pFriem used in the brew had to literally be foraged for in Gifford Pinchot National Forest in southern Washington!

To craft it, the crew at pFriem started with a Lambic aged in oak for two years. Then they added the elusive berries to the Ale, allowing them to ferment for six months. Finally, they bottle conditioned La Baie Sauvage with champagne yeast for a scintillating sip.



Tasting Notes

Notes of bright, luscious jam and piney juniper intricately intertwine with tart, tangy nuances of lemon zest and pineapple. Whispers of oak carry underneath until a refreshingly crisp finish.

Sweet Tart Effervescent

Noteworthy Ingredients

Oak Huckleberry Champagne Yeast

The taste is on par with the best Belgium Lambics but just a tad more rustic and unrefined which I think is a plus.

This beer has a lot of funk, even for a wild ale...it mutes the huckleberry just a bit too much. it does have a nice fruity that lingers nicely...

I've been searching for sours from this brewery that are comprable to their "oude kriek" that Noah M. and I discovered in oceanside. This one comes close!

A punch of fruit upfront. Tart and tangy, yet rich and oaky.
