Under his care, more than 15 varieties of boxwoods were planted with countless other unique tree varieties, and he created a colonial revival garden with amply provides the basil for this refreshing summer ale!

Tap. Pours hazy golden orange, small off white head, good lacing. Aroma is light, herbal. Basil notes, pine, rye malt. Flavor is light sweet, muted basil, light bitter. A tad bland, but not at all bad.

Basil and sumac aroma. Cloudy amber, thin head. Strong basil, sage, sumac, lemongrass. Medium body, easy carbonation. Herbal and dank as hell.

Tap at brewery. Pours slightly hazy golden with a soft white head. Aroma is basil and very herby. Flavor is overloaded with basil, which is not bad, green pepper, light citrus. Not quite medicinal but headed that route. That being said, this beer is solid.
