May 12, 2008 I really could not taste the sage flavor.....tasted at the stone brewery...and it had a nice malt flavor...but seemed quite sweet.....weird considering the other reviews that I have read?

May 3, 2008 From brewery. Hazy golden with small white creamy head. Engaging, sweet, friendly nose with fun splashes of agave syrup. Excellent fruit nuances include guava, custard apple. How much fun is a brewer allowed to have?

Oct 5, 2007 On tap. I was highly impressed with this beer. The sage complimented the hops and yeast perfectly. Despite the sage flavor, this was a fairly light, fairly dry beer (I strongly prefer dry beers over sweet beers). The alcohol is pretty well hidden, given its high percentage. Nice sharp carbonation without too much froth.

hazy amber, thin beige head, wonderful fresh sage aroma, dry malt flavor with just enough hop to balance, just a touch of the sage in the flavor to add complexity and a touch of bitterness, very drinkable

Aug 28, 2007 served on tap. like their 1903 lager, for some reason i couldn’t really tell the aroma. it tasted sweet, and the sage was definitely noticeable. tasted good, but might skip over it next time.
