33 cl bottle @ home, bbe March 2016, so 5 months past.Golden color, mostly clear. Big dense white head with good retention. Aroma’s of flowery hops, some fruit, light herbs, but only with a lot of effort I can possibly make out a hint of basil. Retronasal it’s fruity, herbal/spicy, very light basil indeed, light sour, light bitter. Flavor is moderate bitter with some malty sweetness, a bit herbal. Light to medium bodied. Finishes herbal, rather bitter. Still very drinkable, despite its age.

Sampled from bottle at NHB 2016, thanks Marko! Clear, golden amber with an off-white head. Sweetish, slightly fruity and herbal aroma of lemon, gooseberry, maybe hints of basil and some caramel. Sweetish, fruity and herbal-spicy taste of ginger, lemongrass, some caramel and hints of basil, followed by a medium long, moderately bitter, herbal-spicy finish. Medium body, slightly effervescent mouthfeel, average carbonation. Nice!
