A variation of the classic Belgian style wheat beer with traditional notes of bitter orange peel and coriander, infused with copious amounts of fresh basil. Unfiltered and unapologetically abnormal.

Sample at Industry Night at HomeBrewCon. Faint witbier deep underneath an onslaught of spice, not for me.

Sampled on draft this beer poured a cloudy peach color with a large foamy white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweetish with basil, citrus and other unidentifiable herbs. The flavor was strong basil, vague herbs and tart citrus. Long finish. Medium body. The basil quickly overwhelms. Interesting.

Draft. Hazy straw color. Aroma has more wit than basil. Taste does too, sort of a herbal lemon beer.

Basil comes out of this OK. Some light florals. Light sweet finish. Not a great beer but OK. Tap at Black Squirrel.

An almost clear one, golden in color and with a small, off-white head. Lots of basil on the nose, with some lemony hints. Coriander hints and some pale malts. The flavor is less dominated by the basil, leaving more room for the coriander, wheat and orange peel. A nice bitterness too. Medium body, nice carbonation. Lasting finish. An easy drinkable one, quite tasteful too. Sort of refreshing as well. 141220
