Growler sampled at RBSG 08, with thanks to DenverLogan. Pours a clear amber with a small, white head. Huge herbal aroma, of malt and hops, with fruity, orange notes. Taste is a bit sweet, spicy and fruity, the sage comes through nicely. Lingering sweetness. Different and very tasty saison.

Aug 18, 2008 RBSG 2008. Pours gold with a bubbly white head. Herbal sage nose, spicy, with a soft honey character. Fairly sweet saison, not as dry and spicy as most, but the herbal twist was interesting.

Aug 13, 2008 Growler. Light amber beer with an off-white head. Herbal, spice, light malt aroma. Spicy, malty, light playdough flavor with light fruity esters. Medium bodied. Malt, esters, and light spice linger.

Aug 11, 2008 Thanks to Logan (I believe) for bringing the growler! Poured clear bright golden with a short dusting of white head. The aroma picked up sweet candied toffee and pale malts with sage rockin’ it hard!.. deep and definitely interesting. The flavor was on the sweet side with toasty pale malts and toffee at the core.. dry and herbal accents all around including the aforementioned sage.. dried out on the back, which really allowed the spices to shine. Spicy and dry overall on the palate with a long-ish finish.. enjoyed the sage twist.
