On tap at Great Lakes. Pours a cloudy straw color with almost no head. Aroma is orange, lemon and spice. Flavor is the same. Undercarbonated. This tastes ok, but needs some carbonation to give it some oomph. decent.

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!
