omhper (9937), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 10, 2004 Sampled draught at Lucky Baldwin, Pasadena.
Clear golden, lively, rich head. Rich gingery aroma. Sweet and fruity and rounded, fairly soft mouthfeel. Rich and mouthfilling with herbal notes and drier salty finish. Oakes (6776), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 27, 2008 Cloudy dark straw colour. Big nose mixes sage with bubblegummy, slightly clovey notes. Fizzy mouthfeel. Lots of sage, yeasty spiciness. Quite a bit of late sweetness. Not sure it’s entirey cohesive but it’s fun and enjoyable all the same. argo0 (6004), Washington DC, USA Nov 16, 2004 Opaque amber body with off-white head.

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

CaptainCougar (4596), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jan 26, 2007 Had on tap at Lucky Baldwins in late June 2006: Pours a slightly hazy copper orange with a frothy, dense, well-lacing white head. Rich, sweet floral honey, sage, and bready caramel malty aroma. Body starts sweet, caramely and viscous with good, dry peppery coriander and clove spice and a smooth, but full, bready palate. Nicely-balanced and complex. A unique and enjoyable beer.
