Sage Brush
Western Collective

16oz can from Brewers Haven. Hazy yellow golden pour, skin of head. Aroma is biscuit Malts with hints of citrus peel, tropical fruit. Taste turns this into light savory flavors, almost reminiscent of sagebrush. Very smooth for an 11% beer.

A new release from WC; I'm interested to see how they do on a triple IPA, and there is some positive buzz surrounding this beer locally. 16oz can poured into my Jackie O's tulip.

A: Beautiful hazy orange with a 'thick', juicy look to it, capped with a dense & rocky off-white head that retains well.

S: Right in the wheelhouse where a good TIPA should be, lots of hoppy aromas that lean tropical and juicy with notes of peach, mango, banana smoothie, and pineapple, all backed with a big malt backbone that carries an alcohol sweetness without being overly boozy.

T: More fruity hop flavors emerge with mild notes of apricot and faint pine, combining with that same tropical fruit component and balancing that big malty sweetness well.

MF: Creamy and delicious and full-bodied with plenty of malt backbone; the alcohol is right on the precipice of detracting from the flavors but it never quite gets boozy.

O: Super impressed, this is as good as any hazy triple IPA I've tried, and I chase Revision drops in my area pretty regularly. I can't say enough good things about how well-crafted and balanced and flavorful this brew is for 11%. Well done WC.
