3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 durhambeer (2398) - Durham, North Carolina, USA - DEC 25, 2008
Although I was put off by the fear of what the basil and rice would do to it, I really enjoyed this beer. Lots of tripel fruitiness still comes through and the basil is more of an earthy/herby note than a defining flavor. Nice sugars and yeast. If it had been a bit drier, I think, I might have mistaken this for a Belgian saison. Sweet but in a good way. Hazy golden orange with a big white head.
