The flavor is lightly sweet, lightly bitter and moderately acidic. It finishes lightly sweet, moderately bitter. Tastes of bitter coffee, roasted malts. Some initial tastes of chocolate, but that is quickly overtaken by bitterness and roast. Medium body, watery texture and lively carbonation. Nice.

12oz bottle pours clear deep copper with thin off white head. The aroma is pretty much honey, basil and maybe some floral hops. The taste starts sweet with floral notes and bold honey sweetness and only growing to midway. The basil sort of starts mild and becomes nearly robust midway and into the finish. Interesting but a bit sweet. In fact the sweetness seems to prevent this beer from really being refreshing. Deep in the after taste I seem to get a bit of grainy malts for some reason.
