3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at FS, Durham. Thanks for the pint, David! Deep gold pour with a healthy, lively carbonation. Nose of sharp grassy hops and (blessedly) understated spice notes typical of the style. Pleasant mouthfeel, with a slight sharpness from the herbal notes. Easy-drinking, moderately flavorful.

Served on draft at the brewery. Pours a hazy lemon yellow color with a large creamy white head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of bread, citrus, yeast, a clay-like note and honey. The taste is citrus, bread, spice, more citrus, vegetal notes and faint honey. Medium bodied with high carbonation. Solid beer.

Not sure what style I’d call this. It’s called Honey White, and it looks a bit like a Witbier but darker. Not really any spice, though there are some orange notes. It’s sort of a farmhouse, and in fact it tastes a hell of a lot like their summer basil but without the basil... though I can almost even taste a tiny hint basil or perhaps that’s my mind tricking me because it tastes so much like the base of that beer. Very dry palate, which is nice. Hmmmm....
