COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
over the ages the term ’cellar door’ has numerously been referred to as the most beautiful term in the English language. upon setting out to create the first summer addition to the Stateside line up of ales; the feeling that almost instantly came to me was that of beauty & cleansing. many summer offerings tend to lack the complexity of their bigger, colder season counterparts; so my goal was to craft an ale of extreme balance with a delicate complexity that allows for contemplation while also providing quaffable refreshment. starting with a base of German wheat & pale malts this crisp slightly hazy foundation was then accented with a blend of Sterling & Citra hops providing a intricate blend of herbal grass & tangerine citrus flavors and aroma. to pull this all together and to complete the ’cleansing’ aspect of my vision i gently finished the ale off with a touch of white sage, lending a mild earthy spice character to the blend. of course let’s not forget our house saison yeast that brought all the elements together leaving a dry yet intricate finish. enjoy, b.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a smallish white head. Nose is slightly sour with a decent amount of funk on it and some herbs coming through. Taste is slightly sour, but light and easy to drink. Very drinkable.

Slipstream (1776) - USA - MAY 17, 2013
I like those spooky Stillwater labels, but I haven’t been so crazy about their (expensive) beers lately. Big, rocky head. The aroma is strong, a little herbal, and a little unpleasant. Flavor is sharp, with lots of wheat, and the sage stands out. The finish is on the bitter, leafy side. Rustic & unusual, but not a real favorite.

DoublEE (509) - South Euclid, Ohio, USA - MAY 15, 2013
Pours a light orange amber. Massive white head with medium sized bubbles. Pleasant aroma of yeast, citrus, sage. Nice flavor of wheat, light malt, coriander, light fruit (pear and apple). A slight hint of must. Sage adds a unique flavor and hop like dry kick in the finish. Light to medium bodied with nice carbonation for a pleasant mouth feel. Complex and very refreshing. I like this very much.

BroSpud (1359) - , Massachusetts, USA - MAY 12, 2013
12oz bottle. Interesting witbier. Refreshing and light with a unique grassy taste that I assume is from the sage.
