750ml bottle from Mikkeller Webshop. Sparkling golden color, white foam head and aroma of basil, earth, herb, hint of citric rind. Taste is tart, sour, zesty citric, some rind, with hints of basil, herbs, mushroom, funky, and some drying acidity. Medium bodied, soft foamy carbonation, soured tart finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bottle shared, bottled feb 2015, best before 2025. Orange colour, no head. Aroma is sour, funky, herbal, hint of basil. Taste is the same, tart, dry, herbal, basil. Mellowed out quite a bit from what i remember from the original 2015 bottle back then.

Klare goldene Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Hopfiger, intensiv nach Basilikum riechender Geruch. Geschmacklich ebenso dominant Basilikum, leicht säuerlich, leicht hopfig. Leicht süß mit mittlerer Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.

Nach einer Tomaten-Gose kam dieses Lambic mit Basilikum 🌱 ins Glas. Dementsprechend skeptisch waren wir bei diesen klaren, grünlichen Bier 💚. Geschmacklich ist es aber wirklich voll in Ordnung. So hatte es eine saubere Säure und der Basilikum war nicht zu intensiv, aber doch deutlich spürbar. Neben klassischen Milch- uns Zitronensäurenoten setzte der Basilikum eine kreative, neue, spritzige Akzente. Ob ich es nochmals kaufen würde, kann ich nicht sagen, aber durchaus gut trinkbar ist es auf jeden Fall.

75cl bottled April 2019 - Pours a lightly hazed golden colour with a medium sized, lasting, tight and foamy off-white head. The aroma has lots of basil, tart apple, wood, citrus peel and funk. A herbal and sour taste, lots of basil, funk, wood and tart fruit flavours with a drying tart finish. It's okay but a bit too much basil and that dominates the taste.

Bottle from Delhaize, bottled 4/2019. Hazy orange, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of basil, thyme, rosemary perhaps, orange peel, mandarin, vinegar, oak wood, cheese, vanilla. Taste has sweet-sour mandarin, lime, orange juice freshness; quite a herbal middle with basil & thyme, some wood, low vinegar and faint funky barnyard. Tart, herbal hoppy finish, woody, some more barnyard and wet grass. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Oddity beer, I appreciate it.

(Bottle) Golden colour with big, frothy, off-white head. Fruity, sourish nose with notes of citrus, lemon, grapefruit, bread and basil. Fruity, tart taste with grapefruit, lemon, citrus kernels, white bread, basil and a dry and tart finish. Medium body, dry. Fresh and tasty gueuze, with lots of herbal basil coming through. Interesting, the basil is more evident than I expected. Very nice.
