ironchefscott (220), long beach, California, USA 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?
Naven (689), San Diego, California, USA Jul 20, 2008 On Tap @ Toronado SD. I was very surprised by this one. Very Unique and very drinkable. The sage, while there, takes a bit of a backseat. The underlying beer is very tasty and balanced. Nice job with this one. UselessGdTaste (352), Long Beach, California, USA Jul 10, 2008 On tap at Beachwood BBQ. I was nervous about this one tasting too much like a breakfast sausage. It did a good job of not tasting like it. In fact at the beginning it was absolutely delicious. A tad spiced was all. However as it went on, the sage became more obvious in burps and it actually became rather unpleasant. I would recommend half of a glass, then quit there. BMan1113VR (669), Los Angeles (and Dallas, TX), California, USA Jul 3, 2008 On tap at Lucky Baldwins. Pours with a small, tight, off-white heead that leaves some lacing. Body is a murky dark gold. Aroma has lots of sugar, coriander and sage. Taste is sage, banana esters, alcohol, and spiceyness. Lively bubbles with a syrupy mouthfeel. Intense, but at the same time, extremely refreshing on a 90 degree Pasadena day. Oakes (6793), 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.
