This sage-infused IPA was conceived as the sorta Left-Coast cousin of our sprucecentric pale ale, Pennsylvania Tuxedo. We sought out sustainably produced white sage clusters grown in the foothills near Santa Barabara, CA. White sage is prized for its intense, resiny aroma that pairs perfectly with piney Simcoe and citrusy Comet & Citra hops. A firm malt backbone balances all that herbaceous-ness with spicy rye malt, rich Munich & Crystal malts, and a crackery pilsener malt base. The result is bold & assertive with verdant sage, sappy pine, and bright grapefruit.
