Can. This looks like a white wine. Aroma is like a white wine. Taste is..well.. like a dry white wine. I didn't get honey from any part of it.

Well. That's my new favourite beer. It's tastes like biting into a basil leaf with happiness and unicorns and stuff.

Can. A- Barnyard, musty, apple, cheap white wine. A- Golden color, clear liquid, no head. T- Skunky, white pepper, white wine. P- Light body, average texture, fizzy carbonation, unbalanced finish. O- Just gross. This was unbalanced and the flavors didn't come through well. Not pleased at all.

Crystal clear golden coloured body with a ridiculously fast-dying off-white head that fades just as quickly as soda, if not faster. Aroma of apples, honey, grass and a very light amount of herbs with basil being noticeable, but there is no lemongrass here at all. Ultra Light-bodied; Strong grassy and herbal notes up front with a faint dose of hay and flowers along with some sweetness from honey and light fructose, but this really is all about the dry and grassy notes and some herbal characteristics that show some light sweetness as well and a dry flavour from the hay and a touch of the spices come through with a funky basil note again near the end, but none of the aforementioned lemongrass either. Aftertaste is dry and relatively one-dimensional with the dry notes and sugars coming through without much else. Overall, a pretty poor offering as there wasnt much else in terms of flavours or especially complexity as this was mild and dry, but didn't show enough to make it worth buying. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Crystal City Wine Shop in Arlington, Virginia on 03-April-2020 for US$3,79 sampled at my house here in Washington, a few blocks away on 06-April-2020.

12 ounce can from Whole Foods Charlottesville, 12/24/18. Clear gold with a fizzy head that fades instantly. Overwhelming basil aroma with a bit of mint and honey. Taste is lemon, mint, basil. glue. Thin. Overwhelming basil. Meh.

On tap at Golden West Cafe, pours a clear pale blonde. Aroma brings basil upfront, with a bit of lemongrass. Barely any honey. Flavour is the same, with lemongrass and basil. It's cheap honey water. Not good.
