Nice herbal, lightly yeasty aroma. Flavor is light bready malt with a delicate herbal aftertaste. The melange of herbs is a good stand-in for hops. Interesting and well made beer.

On tap at the brewery, poured a hazy golden color with a thick white head. Slightly grainy and spicy aroma, with a bit of lemom. Different taste, I really got a lot of the basil and it was really unique. This stuff was pretty good and I could see myself sitting down and drinking a lot of it.

On tap at the brewery pours a hazy golden color with a white head. The aromas on this are amazing. Sweet lavender and lemon dominate. This is very aromatic. Has a medium mouthfeel with lively carbonation. Flavor is spicy. Lemon, lemon zest, with a touch of sweetness. Overall I really enjoyed this brew. Nice job!
