The beer pours a hazy dark golden color with a thick frothy off-white head that slowly fades to lacing. The aroma is great! It has a sweet pale malt scent along with a mild Thai basil nose and a wonderful Belgian yeast aroma. It has a nice herbal, yet fruity character. The taste is good. It has a smooth, fruity flavor that boasts of pale malts and Thai basil. It goes down easy for a 7.7% abv. beer. The Belgian yeast provides excellent fruity esters which compliments the basil herbal character. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a full bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a damn fine beer. It's the perfect combination of Belgian yeast and herbal favors.

Serving type: growler
