A variation of our Hop Ottin' IPA, fresh basil is added to the brite tank until it achieves the perfect balance. Flavor components are dank, pine, bitter grapefruit with rich caramel malt backbone and a light basil aroma and earthy herbaceous flavors.

Draft at the Handlebar. Dark amber with small creamy head. Woody, savory aroma. Taste is sweet and savory, some malty notes. A bit of a spicy finish. Fragrant and flavorful.

Light haze on this amber pour. Thin wispy tan head and lacing Mild woody malts in the standard amber aroma, dry woody and sharp rye-like bite in the flavors. The basil comes though pretty big but in a soapy grassy way.

Tap (gravity dispense?) at Capones Black Friday Bash, Norristown PA, 29/11/13. Hazed dark amber with a good sized eggshell white head. Nose is floral hops, herbal, pasta sauce, basil, fruit notes. Taste comprises hops, orange pith, grapefruit, lgiht pine, caramel malt, faint basil. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, subtle hop bitterness and grassy finale with light herbal notes. Decent stuff, I was surprised, the basil is all in the aroma, the taste is more akin to an IPA with light herbal leanings.
