Draft Taproom. Golden with a soft white head. Definite basil and wheat aroma. Flavor is basil, wheat, a little earth. Tasty!

Draft at the source. Clear pale yellow color. Nice aroma of freshly picked basil, probably the freshest I’ve seen. Taste is margherita pizza without the crust and cheese, very bright. My favorite of the bunch.
