Year of New Beer: Big Tasty's Back Door, Westbrook Brewing/Stillwater Artisanal Ales (SC/MD)

Written By: Dion on 09/10/2014

Awesome nose is loaded with sage, followed quickly by clove, white pepper, and perfumed lavender. On the tongue, herbs abound, ruled still by sage, while cursory notes of lemon, lime, ginger, and mineral water hit in waves. Finishes slightly chalky and dry. Wasn't sure I was going to like this at first, but found it quite good (and quirky) in the end. Picked this up at Rooster Brew in Paris. Great selection!
