75cl bottle. Pale orange, with a tall white head with good retention. The smell is dominated by fresh basil, along with honey, freshly cut grass, vinegar and lambic funk. The taste is sour, bitter and slightly funky, with notes of fresh basil, green hops and some lambic acidity in the background. Very well balanced, with a dry and slightly sour aftertaste.

Pours amber with a large, quickly fading head.Nose shows basil, confectionery, funk, lime, elderflower.Flavours include more basil and a strong tartness along with lemon and farmhouse notes.

(750ml spring 2015 bottle from Systembolaget) Pours a clear medium gold with a large fluffy white head that lingers with lace. No surprise, nose leads with heaps of freshly torn basil leaves, almost medicinal herbal tincture notes, musty basement and wood, mulch with sulphurous hints, and just a bit of lime like a wedge was dropped in. Palate of fresh basil leaves in lime juice, a bit of citrus peel, lactic acidity is fairly light though. Some fairly light white bread to the malt. Wood character is quite bright and not powerful. There is a little damp basement funk. Still mostly about the basil. Finish is slight lactic citrus pucker, moderately bitter basil and drying wood. Palate is fairly light with high effervescent carb. Not as much like pesto made into a drink as I feared, not crazy drinkable but not the opposite either. Definitely a different lambic though, herbal and grassy.
