Pour on tap, hazy orange-red pour with white head, aroma brought notes of caramel, toffee, toasted bread into a bit of yeast, herbs, the basil comes into a bit of slight fruit into a bit of sweet honey. Taste was a mix of caramel, basil, some slight honey into toast, some red fruits, hints of grain, finishing slightly sweet.

Draft. I really like this brew, it has a lingering sweet basil taste that I could be going back for over and over.

Delayed review upon entry to the site. On tap at this year’s Chicago Beer Society picnic. Self served to a clear, plastic shaker showing a cloudy, brownish amber color, with a presentable layer of off white/light tan head foam, and some waves & spots of lacing. The nose offered a moderate sweetness that was a pleasant blend of caramel, honey, and fruit, seasoned by a light, herbal scent of complementary basil. Light to medium bodied, with adequate carbonation, a moderate, earthy hop bitterness, the basil, and an edge of honey sweetness made up the flavor, and all lingered into the finish, with a little more emphasis on the astringency. Rather tasty, and fit the occasion well.
