12 ounce bottle grom Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear copper color with a thin head. Fair head retention and lacing. Aroma is caramel, honey, lime, spicy basil finish. Basil is strong in the taste... with honey and caramel notes. Nice and spicy. I suddenly crave mozzarella. Medium bodied. Interesting beer, and well done.

Bottle. Poured clear amber with thin to medium white head. Almost no lacing. Aroma of malt and basil. Much basil in the flavour, with some honey notes. Middle of the tongue finish. Good to try, but for me, not to make a habit of. Good on warm day.

Hazy golden coloured body with tints of orange and amber, along with a super-sized dense, frothy white head. Very nice appearance! Aroma of subtle spices, malt, wheat, yeast and hops. Not really much basil to smell from this one, probably a good thing, but more honey and malt, coupled with yeast than anything else. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong potent wheat and yeast tastes along with spices (coriander seed is in this one, it seems) and hops. Afteraste, some of the basil and honey seem noticeable after the sip in a pleasant (non-vegetal) way - a very nice treat and somehow, remarkably done! Overall, a pretty good beer, odd to see the label - but much better than it sounds when you see it in the store! Worth picking up if you like some of the better herb/spice category and if you can find it! I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased from a small wine & beer store in Richmond, Virginia on 05-November-2006.

Aroma of lemon, honey and herb. Slightly hazy gold color with a very large white head. Thin to medium body with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is spicey, with basil (but not like fresh basil) and there is an underlying honey note. Rather dry, slightly bitter. Decent drink, though rather unusual.

22 oz bttle purchased at Wine Warehouse, Charlottesville for $3.99. Clear peachy amber in color with an inch of off-white head. Wow, interesting aroma without a doubt. Smells like pizza... or a good Italian pasta dish with a sweet undertone of honey. Flavor overwhelms with basil- so if you don’t like the spice, this is a no-no, with light honey. Interesting... very interesting.
