Bottled. A hazy yellow with a lazing yellowish head. The aroma has notes of brettanomyces, spices, and lemons. The flavor is brettanomyces, basil, lemons, and straw, leading to a tart finish.

Small white head over fully hazy ochre-orange beer. Good marriage between fresh green basil and lemony lambic; funky, slightly spicy. Sourish, lemony, wild yeasts and surrounding fresh basil. No pesto connotations, just the fresh leaves. Not much else, obviously. Tart. Spritzy, very refreshing, lipsmacking acidity. Light body, attenuated; ending a bit empty flavourwise. Pretty good try-put, original, praiseworthy.

Flaska från SB. Smak och doft av örter, gräs, vita druvor, ladugård, funk, jäst, basilka med toner av äpple. Frisk, fin syrlighet, bra balans med övervägande smak åt basilka som gifter sig bra med övriga smaker. Gott!

Taste: citrus, lots of basil, funky, lots of peach flavour as well, weird enough. Aftertaste: more peach, peach candy, sourish, lemony touch. Good, very original.
