Village Brewery: This is almost a year old now. Sounds like the basil mellows out a lot over time and makes it more sessionable. Cheers Patrick!

A subtle herb note rather than a punch of basil, which is a relief really. Nicely balanced but certainly eccentric.

Patrick Beauchesne: @Village Brewery This one got unintentionally aged after it got lost behind some other bombers in my fridge. Worked out nicely.

Red/brown colour, hoppy and herbal aroma, herbal and hoppy flavour with a hint of sweetness.

It has mellowed nicely, but the aromas don't match the flavour and are actually quite off putting. They smell like Irish Spring...
Village Brewery: Those garden hops have been known to give off a soapy smell. Glad it still tasted alright though!
Bernice Hill: Village Brewery it did! Which was really strange. I love how it 'matured'. Still a great brew.

Wasn't a lot there. Medium hop with the barest hint of fresh herbs. Long finish with more hop.
