Commercial Description:
Aphrodisiac Ale is a golden ale base beer, with the addition of local organic honey, fresh ginger, and dried lavender tips. The art of blending herbs into beer dates back to the Picts. Scottish in origin, the Picts would drink herb infused beer before going into battle. Other times they would drink it to boost their libido.

<i>Sampled at the brewpub. AU15/08.</i><br /><br /> <b>App.</b>: Clear golden with a thin white froth. <b>Aroma</b>: Strong herbs – reminds me of basil and sage, sweet honey. <b>Palate</b>: Medium body and almost no carbonation. <b>Flav.</b>: Lots of floral, perfume-like herbs, lavender, honey, sage, minty basil; off-dry with decent bitterness.<br /><br /> Interesting and intriguing, but only in limited quantities.
