bottle poured a golden amber in color with a covering of white foam and steady heavy carbonation. aroma has heavy yeast, light spices, some herbs, and light hops. mouth feel is prickly from the carbonation frothing up an otherwise thin mouth feel. flavor hits off with hefty yeast, basil, pepper, and has some light rich fruit. there is a little bite to this and it does have lots of interesting flavors for the style.

Jan 3, 2010 750 ml bottle shared generously by footbalm. Pours a deep golden hue with a massive foamy white head. A nice aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, yeast, and spices. A spicy concoction, basil is noticeable, lemon pepper, dry yeast, juicy and complex. A interesting take on a Tripel. I liked it, very drinkable.

Jan 2, 2010 Weird beer. Starts with an herbal note in the nose and flavor that had menthol and licorice notes, and then re-reading the bottle, realizing it was the basil. Not quite sure I liked this addition. Somewhat sweet. Dark gold color, modest head and good lacing.

Dec 19, 2009 Clear medium gold, nice lasting head. Aroma is sweet, honey accented malts with a spicy note. Flavor is that of a nice tripel - solid pale malt backbone with an enjoyable spice finish. Maybe a hint of bubblegum. Wouldn’t have picked out the rice and thai basil, but I think that is a good thing - the unusual ingredients are all in harmony with the beer. Well done tripel.

Dec 18, 2009 Bottle: Straw in color, hazy, huge rocky white head, nice lacing. Peppery nose, subtle spices, bready. Seems american yet more spiced. Not like belgians, more like and american version but rather spicy. Bubley, fairly full bodied with a spritzy mouthfeel. Sweet, decent malt base. Not as heavy as others. More spicy and floral like Belgians. Well, more spicy than floral. This is a treat! Lingering pepper. Slightly bright with some alcohol warmth. Very unique and tasty.

Dec 7, 2009 Cask. Rattle N Hum, NYC. Hazy deep gold body. Fizzy, off-white head, quickly diminishing. The aroma displays notes of coriander, toasted grain, caramel, herbs, flowers. The flavor is moderately to heavily sweet and moderately bitter. It finishes moderately sweet and moderately bitter. Good balance. Medium to full body, watery texture turning sticky in the finish. Moderate carbonation. Alcohol warming. First impression is that this is one of those way-to-sweet, unrefined American tripels, but there is enough balance to keep the sweetness from being overwhelming.
