Keg at BD Sheps Boost, 21/10/19. Pinkish pour with a crimson cap. Nose is basil, herb. yeast esters, straw, strawberry pips. Taste comprises herb, less basil than on the nose, grains, light citrus fruit, light white peppery spice, faint strawberry liquorice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Pleasant enough refresher but wouldn’t want to drink a whole lot of this.

Keg at BD Tower Hill. Aroma of strawberries with a dank core and a touch of the herb. Hazy orange-pink. Thin frothy translucent white head. Initial light sour - and whilst the sourness continues throughout the sweetness of the strawberries comes through. The basil then really takes the edge off. Light bodied. Thin but slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dry finish with a touch of astringency. Lovely stuff.
