When it came to the 2016 Stone Spotlight Series competition, brewers Brandon Jacobs & Alex Rodriguez said, “Screw it! Let’s brew something Stone would ‘never’ brew.” They took this independent, go their own way mentality and combined a Finnish sahti, medieval European gruit and Belgian imperial wit together. In doing so, they invented a new beer style they nicknamed SahGruWit—say it fast a few times and you’ll see what we did here. The result is a crazy delicious success courtesy of their ingenuity paired with the unlikely, hard-to-source ingredients of mugwort, wormwood & juniper berries. This beer is extremely unique, which is why it was the hands-down winner of this year’s competition.

    Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 8 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

    Rated July 2016. 22oz bomber, grabbed to go while at Liberty Station, pours with a clear copper body that supports a white head. The aroma offers up spices, apple, a thin slice of banana, peach cotton candy warm pineapple and honey. The taste delivers apricot, apple and pineapple like honey sweetened fruitiness ringed with various spicy notes. To midway more of a citrus character comes to the surface as well as a light spicy woodiness. Riding against the sweetness are the persistent coriander like spices and earthy sort of tropical berry fruit tartness. There’s a lot of flavor here and a decent balance is achieved but in the end the flavor profile doesn’t resonate.
