A spiced American Pale Ale we brewed Sam’s good friend, Jou-Yie and his own Significant Other, Bentley.
Jou-Yie and Bentley brought some of their favorite things to the table for the brew, starting with sage, an herb native to the Central Coast of California. To complement the spicy medicinal character of the sage, we decided to go with Cedar from our friends at Grain Surfboards in Maine, and a very rare and special Oolong tea that Jou-Yie’s parents bring back to the US from Taiwan – hand-picked from the Chi-Lai Mountain (AKA Black Mountain) in the Nantou Region of Central Taiwan. Brewed with all Pacific Northwestern Pale Ale malt and a blend of Liberty and Northern Brewer hops to round out the profile, menthol notes jump out up front from the sage with supporting woodsy and earthy complexity from the Green Tea, Cedar, and hops. Lingering soft bitterness and spice complete the dense Forrest of flavors in this refreshing brew.

On draft at the brew pub in Delaware it is a clear amber color with a slight white head. The aroma is flowery with a hint of homey. The taste is of honey and cinnamon and light blending of other spices

Draft at the Brewpub, Rehoboth Beach. Pours hazy amber with a small tan head. Aroma of spices, herbs, light wood, sage, earthy hops and green tea. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, wood and earth lingering in a herbal finish. Medium bodied with light carbonation.
