Overall Impression:
I was unsure how this beer would be, considering the additions of Rice and Thai Basil, but I should be used to it by now with this brewery; they always seem to come up with interesting interpretations of classic styles, and this was no exception. I loved this beer!!! It was sweet, fruity and incredibly flavorful. Yet another winner from The Bruery!
