Heist Sour Pale Ale

With my beloved Raptors looking to steal game one of the NBA Finals against the heavily favoured Warriors, I reached for a can of Heist Sour Pale Ale (worked out great, BTW!) from Toronto’s Folly Brewing. A golden brew made using Kveik yeast and flaked wheat, Heist pours with a thin layer of white head.

Heist has a tart citrus and yeast nose. The flavour has notes of orange, alongside a clamber of yeasty funk. Heist is a tasty little piece of work, and at just 5%, it goes down easy. A bit more prominent bitterness might have made a good beer better, but it’s definitely a good beer. Also worthy of praise is the beautiful design on the 473mL can featuring the beer’s name as a stylized burglar—just awesome.
