Common descriptors are
Wild Ale fermented with Wild Huckleberries. Every summer in small western Montana towns, locals gather and talk in hushed tones about secret discoveries and motherloads in them hills. In the Treasure State, the prize they whisper of is gold, but not the bright yellow stuff. This is purple gold and equal in value: wild Montana Huckleberries. In July, hunters brave ravenous grizzly bears and would be claim jumpers to gather these precious gems clinging to steep mountainsides. We are very fortunate to have friends in Montana who hand pick wild huckleberries and drive 1300 miles to Barrelworks so that we may turn this precious cargo into liquid gold. Huck Yeah! is a wild ale fermented with wild Montana huckleberries. Its bursting with fresh bright fruit flavor and aroma rounded out by earthy funk, sumptious oak and mouthwatering acidity. Aged 8-18 months in an 85/15 mixture of French and American Oak barrels.
