The Happy Accident
Sunkink

Hazy and pale in appearance, with heavy citrus and mild spice. This beer is hit hard with orange peel in the boil and a modest amount of ground coriander to offer up an alternative taste of the classic American Wit.
Stemming from a mistake during the brewing of what was intended to be a batch of Happy Valley Hefe, this beer was the result of a scramble mid-brew to ensure no litre of wort was wasted.
A Sunkink is a, thankfully eliminated, phenomenon that would happen to primitive railway lines in extremely high temperature weather, prior to the introduction of technology allowing for expansion. The lines would expand to extremes and cause a drastic buckle, which could cause a train to derail. This name is a ode to the beer's refreshing character and to our backbone railway sector, ensuring our iron ore product can reach the deepwater port of Sept-Iles and on to global markets.

“Nothing compares to when we brew this one and smell oranges and coriander all day!”
THE STYLE
Similar European style wheat beers, but American Wheat does not have the clove-banana fermentation traits evident in German Wheat Beers. This style can be clear or hazy, bready/doughy aromas and flavors with hints of citrus and spice, hop bitterness is higher than German styles but still remain modest.
THE HISTORY
American interpretation of German wheat beers, like the Hefeweizen. While the history of German wheat beers goes way back, the American wheat style is relatively new. Around 1950s, following World War II, German culture including their beer began to reemerge. This resulted in more beer from Germany being imported into America, and homebrewers began experimenting with their styles. In 1984 Anchor Brewing CO. released Anchor Summer Wheat, and breweries and home brewers continued to release their own interpretation of wheat beers since then.
