Hazy orange with a thin ring of foam around the edges. Slow trails of rising tiny bubbles.
Earthy aroma, Belgian yeast takes centerstage, dry with vague phenolic spice.
Taste is a different story, somewhat juicy with refreshing cucumber earthiness and apple/pear notes, maybe some light basil in the aftertaste.
Light bodied and super refreshing.
Overall really good stuff, best beer I had in Iowa this weekend.
2018 batch: not enough basil or cucumber, unfortunately nothing like the earlier batch.
