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.

wlajwl (2914) - Quad Cities, Iowa, USA - MAY 24, 2013

Aroma is spices, mint and hints of wheat and citrus. The flavor is spices, an undercurrent of almost imperial wit citrus, malts and a mix of heat/tartness/alcohol in the finish.

maxwelldeux (2240) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - MAY 20, 2013

AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

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 (1362) - , Massachusetts, USA - MAY 12, 2013

12oz bottle. Interesting witbier. Refreshing and light with a unique grassy taste that I assume is from the sage.
