SVD (6163) - Limburger in Gelderland, NETHERLANDS - FEB 24, 2024
UPDATED: FEB 24, 2024 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.

Moretum (2122) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - NOV 17, 2023
UPDATED: NOV 17, 2023 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.

Goldbarren (5525) - Vienna, AUSTRIA - NOV 12, 2023
UPDATED: NOV 13, 2023 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.

Parmenion777 (1917) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - APR 9, 2023
UPDATED: APR 9, 2023 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.

alexsdad06 (17935) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JUL 30, 2022
UPDATED: JUL 30, 2022 This is a backlog rating from around 2015, from notes @ JungleJim's. I took notes on every beer that I had, but didn't rate most because they were below average to average and my time was better spent with family or work. Technology, or the lack thereof, also contributed to the backlog. Words to describe this beer are tart, funky, fresh basil, herbal, interesting.

nathanvc (5934) - Gent, BELGIUM - MAY 13, 2021
UPDATED: MAY 13, 2021 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.

4.4
Samtzu (2110) - Palmerston North, NEW ZEALAND - MAR 17, 2021
UPDATED: MAR 17, 2021 750ml bottle. Pours a mild to dark gold with strong white head. Light tartness on the nose with lots of herbs and basil. Medium body with a strong herbaceous front and the basil is dominant. Light tartness and dryness at the back. A very interesting beer which does exactly what it says it should.

3.6
Sammy (19152) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 23, 2021
UPDATED: FEB 23, 2021 Fun lambic, basil gives this a spicy peppery balsamic side. Worth trying for interest in seeking a latitude of what lambic is.

3.8
Svesse (14202) - Hässelby, SWEDEN - JAN 30, 2021
UPDATED: JAN 30, 2021 (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.

dunklermessias (3049) - GERMANY - NOV 20, 2020
UPDATED: NOV 20, 2020 From Lambic to the beach...and nothing fallen Inside... Sour fruity tart with a nice basil touch.
