Tap @ brewery. Hazy yellow appearance with a white head. Big basil, herbal, earthy, pizza aroma. Earthy, herbal, organic, basil, light citrusy, lightly chewy flavor. Definitely would enjoy a food pairing with this.

Admittedly, I was apprehensive about this one - I was disappointed that CK was jumping on the "let’s add whacky ingredients to lighter styles to spice them up" bandwagon - but this turned out nice - turbid gold - low carbonation - minimal head - nose is honeyed maltiness, earthy, dusty yeast, mild basil and pepper - flavor is dry and earthy up front - bready yeast notes - sweetens up through the middle - basil is mild, adding a soft herbal note, followed by a touch of spiciness - light tanginess, bordering on fruitiness in the finish - a solid brew - probably great with food.
