October 2nd, 2016 - Basic Batch? Oh, I get it! But I'm not sure the name fits at all. It doesn't deserve the self-criticism of a Basic B!tch, and it's also quite unlike any other brew I've ever had in the pumpkin/herbal/vegetal category. I actually take a sip first this time since the aroma is so aggressive, and my eyes widen with a sense of immediate refreshment. Apple juice and pumpkin notes combine in a blend like a healthy Autumn themed Jamba Juice, and made more quaffable by a lighter body. The nose is much the same, bridging Summer and Fall effortlessly in one unique flavor palate. I typically don't prefer my pumpkin ales to be sweeter than necessary, but when that sweet flavor profile comes from apples (summer, autumnal or otherwise) it really lands well.
