 I'm actually checking out this episode of brutal battle beer break. I'm going to be doing a new brewery to the show Burley oak and burley oak is out of Berlin, Maryland Like I said, haven't had any other stuff on the show I've actually tried a few of their things on tap at various places and have been Interested in it not not like amazing but not bad at all like good solid stuff and it's a fairly new brewery So that's exciting What I have here was courtesy of Laura and Sean Finn Thank you very much to both of you if people remember Sean's been on the actual podcast before they brought me a Well kind of the the growler of burley oak, I guess Sean said that they don't really do growlers They do this instead this massive 32 ounce can that they will fill up for you and let you take the beer with you So and it's called the burley can it actually says there The burley can if you can see and you can also see it's called golden sex panther and it is 5.6% alcohol by volume This from the same brewery that has a beer called just the tip and if you can see they have a pretty cool logo Burley oak and this yes this can is massive if I just Hold it you can get an idea trying to drink from this. It's huge So the golden sex panther is actually a saison that's done with basil and lemon grass apparently See how this goes Wish I had nails easier to get that All right Makes it a little tough to pour it Actually not too bad There out so you guys can look at the logo nice Looks a little bit darker than I would assume a saison would actually almost like an IPA type look to it pretty a little bit hazy But pretty clear Um Very orange-ish. It's got a decent bit of a head to it there smell those banana-y type notes I Can smell that basil for sure It's like banana basil Because I know lemon grass is in it. I can pick the lemon grass out But it's not like crazy if I didn't know there's lemon grass. I probably would not be able to pick it out But knowing it's there I can search for it and it's there but yeah like Basil lemon grass banana-y saison yeast and that's pretty much it It's very um Smooth it's a very smooth type beer It's interesting because as soon as it hit my tongue It almost came off kind of buttery in consistency, which is kind of weird Definitely get the base on there the basil is way up front. It's a big pop You can get the lemon grass more on the finish of the beer you get that kind of Funky saison yeast aspect to it a little bit of a banana-y note and then there's a little bit of kind of a little Little bit of a twang on the end. That's that's kind of like a dirty dish rag, but it's not distracting a ton It's like I said a little bit. It's very slightly there Hmm For me because of all these flavors coming together Has a little bit of a soapy quality to it because you know real perfumy type soaps And actually that kind of creamy Interesting mouthfeel kind of adds to that. It's a little soap-ish I don't know how I am in general with with basil and beers, but This is pretty well done as far as basil and beers go and lemon grass if you like the idea of basil lemon grass Saison you will probably like this beer. I'm just undecided on if I like those things because I haven't had them a whole lot in beer I know that I hate lavender in beer and in food can't do that. So I'm okay on this beer. I'll drink it. I'm gonna drink it with the wife I think she'll enjoy it so anyone out there if you like what you heard go ahead and check out Burley oak if you can get it and their burley cans are so cool Maybe I'll do another one. I have their awesome sauce. So that would be cool to do Anyway, good job burley oak. Thanks for all the basil-y lemon-y lemon grassy Saison-y goodness And until next time everybody go have yourself an awesome beer
