Basil character was in good balance with the hop character. Both were mellow/subdued. Mouthfeel was good out of the boil. | ||||

Next time mash at 159 for a bit more dextrine. Good hop balance. slighly hoppier from the cascade than vanguard hops which is what fullsteam uses. yeast flavor isn't as silky as 3711. Could add .25 lb more of oatmeal. Mouthfeel is light and refreshing. Carbonated after 1 day in keg, and 2 weeks at 40 degrees. | ||||

Good clear body. yeast plays a huge role. 3 dimensional beer but with a light very drinkable touch. Basil flavor is perfectly in balance. It may fade too much as the beer ages. Won't know for awhile. Bitterness level is perfect. Yeast is good...could probably use other Belgian for variation...but i like it cleaner. Lindsey doesn't want this recipe changed. Body, hops, basil, alcohol notes, esters are all in perfect balance. The yeast is clearing up...still a bit to floc out. | ||||

Drinking really well. Clear. Almost lager like. Licorice like basil notes. Very pleasant sessionable ale at 4% ish. Yeast adds some interesting flavors...high yeast pitching rate though so it is really clean. No fusil flavors, no diacytle. Lager/Ale flavor mixed with Basil. I really like this. Body is light...despite mashing at 157. Not watery, just light. Feels full in the mouth. Would try again with American two row, high pitching rate again for clean flavor, perhaps cal common yeast, Add 1/2 more Basil, and use Unmalted wheat in the grist instead of malted. This recipe is a keeper. Not 100% sold on the pilsner malt as a necessity and willing to play with the yeast strain. I like the cleaner flavor of the high pitching rate...the original recipe called for a saison yeast, and i like the abbey one better, and wonder what a well floculating cal common yeast would do. |
