Wild Goose Chase is a new "everyday" wild beer from Wild Beer Co. It's a dry-hopped farmhouse pale with gooseberries and their own wild yeasts. A mature barrel-aged beer that's a bit tart, a bit hoppy and very drinkable. Wild Goose Chase pours a dark yellow with aromas of wheat and gooseberries giving a modest sharpness. The first taste is sweet on the lips opening up to tart gooseberries with soft citrusy notes. There's a drying, woody finish with oak leading to a long, lingering taste of gooseberries. Brett Eillis, brewer at Wild Beer Co., describes this as a "great eye-opener and conversational beer" and it's hard to disagree. This is a brewery pushing the limits of what a beer should be by removing the constraints of tradition and rules and for that they must be celebrated.
Wild Beer Co. are an entirely vegan brewery with the exception of their milk stouts. They do not have any plans to use isinglass or gelatine, but are not adverse to its use so please check on future releases.
This beer is suitable for vegans at the time of writing (July 2015).
