Bottle from the brewery. Pours a creamy looking dull pinkish/beige, with a medium off white head. Aroma is mixed fruit oatmeal, with some citrus, hints of vanilla, and some light mint, and basil. Mouth feel is luscious, and creamy, with a soft, but pleasant carb. Low bitterness, a nice tang, and refreshing fruity finish. Lots of citrus in the end with light stone fruit, and mint.

Tasting at Brian's, bottle
Murky orange-blond colour. Interesting aroma, basil, pineapple, rosehips. Smooth, sweet and sour, with a good blend of orange juice and delicate basil. It works very well (thanks to the residual sweetness).

500ml bottle at Brian's. Appearance: murky orange with a weak white head. Aroma: tons of basil, pizzaish smell. Taste: basil, fruity puree. Overall: strange, but it's ok.

500mL bottle, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is like a pizza, with lots of blood oranges, sour candies, and basil. Flavour is very lacto-y, with basil upfront, lots of blood orange, lacto, and sour candies. Intensely sour -- this churns the stomach. Lots of sour candies, with a lot of blood oranges. Difficult to drink, inelengant, but fun.

Interesting colour, sort of pinkish, cloudy. The basil comes out in the aroma, the blood orange, some weird umami thing. This is really weird. On the palate, it's got a soft palate, with a light bit of acidity. There's basil, the blood orange is there, too. Lemon? Maybe. Interesting take - a moderately sour beer with an odd blend of flavours.
