De Caqueter
The Original Basil T's

I haven't a clue as to what the name means, but if it translates to 'damn good' its just fine by me as this one definitely was. It pours an iced tea-esque brownish amber colour with some cloudiness to it thanks to the unfiltered nature of this one. The head is moderate in size and off-white in colour, but leaves a nice sticky residue on the glass.

The smell is primarily of sweet sugar with some hop notes mixed in along with possibly some floral notes as well. It is basic but nice.

The flavour expands upon the smell with sweetness still dominating, but mixed in with some fruit flavouring and moreso grassy notes than floral this time (though the floral presence is still there). There is a nice subtle hop kick to this one as well. It's crisp and smooth and, while not as bold as a true Belgian Pale Ale, it is certainly very close. This is a very nice stab at the style, methinks.
