Wisp is an evolving enigma that features Stjordal malted barley from Sugar Creek Malt. Stjordal malt is created in a traditional Nordic process of drying the malt over Alder wood fires. This process imparts a unique smoke character that evolves as you get deeper into your glass. At first you will get aromas of Alder smoke, persimmon, raisins and dates but as your pallet acclimates to the smoke you’ll discover notes of freshly tilled earth, grilled peaches, roasted strawberries, honeysuckle, black pepper, and clove. The body is delightfully light and the finish is pleasantly clean and succinct.

On tap at the brewery. Cloudy orange with white head. Malty, some smoke, touch of funk, bit spicy.

My first smoked saison- so good, so complex. The smoked malts taste slightly different with each sip. Full range of flavors. Excited to try the Brett Favre version. Thanks Matt!
