We at Crooked Stave find solace playing in the Colorado mountains and possess a great pride for the place we call home. Paying homage to our great state, we brewed Colorado WildSage, a tart Brett Saison incorporating fresh herbs, including white sage and lemongrass. Brewed with all Colorado ingredients in order to deliver a little bit of the high country to everyone who decides to share in this beer with us. Unfiltered and naturally wild, we package each can with a small amount of yeast to maintain maximum freshness for wherever life's adventures take you.

Tap into a wineglass showing well filtered yellow with half a finger of white foam. The nose shows sage and mint. The palate is well carbonated and light bodied. Flavors of the sage and a hints of lemon tartness. No bitterness.

This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a glossy burnt yellow color with a smooth foamy almost looks like thick cream sitting atop of the beer in a nice mountainous rocky manner. It lasts for a good portion of the beer.
The smell starts off with a big sweet lemon pulpiness shining through some sweet lemongrass and sage. The rush of sweet refreshing clean floral to herbal qualities burst through for a stellar balance.
The flavor leans sweet through the floral/sage/herbal qualities. Sweet floral aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a spectacular sessionability about it. Carbonation runs light to allow sweet herbal qualities to stick on my tongue but not cloying.
Overall, a wonderful saison that I would love to have again.

Draught at Ølsnedkeren Århus. Citric, sweet, and spicy aroma. Cloudy golden color. Good creamy stable white head. The flavour starts off quite acidic, then comes a district sage note. Teaish note as well. Citric finish.

On tap at the Source. Cloudy light gold with s huge nose of fresh sage. Light bodied and dry the flavor is sage and wild herbs with white. Very dry and easy to drink though the sage is a bit too full on for my taste.

Bottle. Huge sage nose. Also lemon, honey, biscuits, and something that reminds me of burnt tomato sauce. Clear, oily golden color. Flavor is a bit less dominated by sage, lemony, funky. Soft, oily palate that works. I don’t really care for the sage, but the beer is nice.

375ml bottle. Cloudy, yellow-ish golden colour with average, thick, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, white head. Herbal-spicy aroma, notes of sage, mild bretty funkiness, a minimally soapy bath salt touch. Taste is initially dry, moderately sour, tangy, citric sourness, hints of brine and gherkin; a herbal braking effect keeps the sourness slightly at bay; some residual sweetness comes in and takes away some more of the sourness; nevertheless both, the spici- and sourness are strong enough to leave some effect in gullet and stomach. Slightly monotonous overall.
