On cask at the Bruery
A: The beer pours a cloudy golden orange color with almost no head, even with the hand pump.
S: Quite a funky nose on this, but that might just be because I haven't had Trade Winds in awhile... Lots of herbaceous qualities from the basil, but I don't get too much coconut, just a hint of sweetness. Sweet malt and fruit with notes of pineapple and lemon zest.
T: Mild hints of sweet coconut, but there is a little bit of vanilla and some other sweet tropical fruits, especially pineapple. The Thai basil really comes through quite strong as do some grassy hop notes and a mild bitterness.
M: Medium in body with a low, smooth carbonation.
O: Interesting. I'm not the hugest Trade Winds fan, but I thought this was pretty decent.

On cask at The Bruery,
A: Pours dark gold to amber with a frothy cask head, with bits of floating coconut.
S: Sweet malt, lemons and assorted citrus with some vanilla.
T: Much more of a direct Belgian flavour, more akin to Mischief than the regular Trade Winds. Notes of coconut, good malt, herbal with some sweetness in the finish.
M: Light-bodied with nice carbonation from the cask. Frothy and smooth.
O: An intersting play on Trade Winds, but in the end I prefer the original where the basil and herbs can really come out to play.
