No jest bazylia i ryli fajowa dziczyzna, spora kwasnosc, ale pojawiaja sie ciekawe nutki w tle a la grujer jakby sie go nie pisalo. Oczywiscie wytrawne. Kwasnosc cytrynowa. Lindemansy umiejo!
From bottle at beer and beyond's birthday party. Clear gold, white head. Basil, a little bit of funk, apple puree' aroma, sour, apple, faint basil and lime in the mouth. Medium body, lively fizz, long finish with notes of cider vinegar.
(nez basilic (!), bouche ∞-siurpeuse (incroyable et magique) : quelle texture lourde pour un lambic !!!)
Bottle, small creamy head, light hazy deepish oxidzed orange color, at first basil and shrubs, then funk and sewer blends in, piercing lemony sourness balanced by a touch of sweetness and bitterness, shrubs, funk, yeast, some spice, and a just a hint of bredy malt, mint lingering in both aroma and flavor, nice basil undertones in flavor. Perfectly balanced and highly enjoyable.
Bottle from Mondo Vino 8-12-16
Bottle shared at Kiselo druženje (Sour gettogether) 2018. Opaque golden, small off-white head. Intense basil and other herbs, funky, yeasty, barnyard. A bit overwhelming. Intense green tea flavour, basil, lemongrass, herbs. Light body, soft carbonation, lasting finish. A bit one-sided.
75cl-fles. U: Waig goudblond met een witte schuimkraag. G: Frisse kruidigheid o.a. basilicum, munt, thijm en laurier, licht floraal en wat brett. S: Zoetzuur. Opnieuw dezelfde frisse kruidigheid, brett en wat hout. Droge afdronk. M: Doordrinker met medium carbonatie.
Hazy yellow.Yeast and basil aroma the basil. Moderately sour and the basil veryuch accentuates the lambic aroma.
Bomber. Light gold pour with a white head. This is killer. Funky and basil, dry. Holy shit.
75cl fles. Wazig goudblond bier met fijne pareling en witte schuimkraag. Geur: zurigheid, frisse kruidigheid, Brett, wat munt, floraal. Smaak: zurig, tijm, laurier, munt, hout. Goede koolzuurprikkel. Afdronk: zurig en fris kruidig. Complex en lekker.
Very well balanced lambic, not too sour but not mild at all. The basil adds a nice touch. Pricey but excellent.
Golden colour with lasting head. Aroma has basil but also some mint and eucalyptus. Quite medicinal. Flavour is much more subtle and balanced. Moderately sour. Refreshing. Unusual.
Aromat super, bazylia, ale nie przytłacza, a zaraz za nią końska derka, a bazylia podbija te końskie aromaty. W smaku kwaśne konskie, na finiszu bazylia i jeszcze większe kwach, no super piwo, niesamowite polaczenie Bazyli z kwachem.
Soury fruity aroma, spicy, herbal, apple candy, gummi bears, basil. Cloudy yellow to orange color with small sized white head. Sweet taste with some sourness, spicy, rosemary, fruity, grapes, white wine, tarty. Thin body, lively carbonation, slightly astringent, sparkly. Awesome. //bottle from Spicy Days
Fles 75cl thuis. Fruitig, zuren, koolzuur, basilicum flink aanwezig, droog. Apart. (11-2016).
W zapachu sporo aromatów bazylii, dzikich drożdży oraz cytrusów, wyraźne aromaty drewna, beczki. W smaku wytrawne, wyraźnie cierpkie, taniniczne, kwaśne, nuty bazylii wyraźne, dominują nuty dzikich drożdży, cytrusów, lekka garbnikiwa goryczka.
Aromat to mieszanka Bazyli z dzikimi nutami: siano, łąka, wioska, wyprawiona skóra. W smaku średnia kwaśność i przyjemny balans bazyliowo- dziki.
Bottle of 75cl, in Tumbler glasses; from the fridge.
Woaw.
This Gueuze is really an enjoyable one, with the spicy herbal aroma and her basil aftertaste.
It's a go go go !
Bottle. Golden color, thin white head. Interesting aroma of basil and sour notes. Fairly sour flavor with cool, minty notes. Medium body, very high carbonation. Nice!

At home together with Yves 0.75l bottle of gold blond colored body with a white head and with a herby malt sour fruity aroma a sour fruity malt herby dry taste with a sour dry bitter finish
Bottle, bottled in 2015. Pours a beautiful rich gold pour with pillowy white head. Aroma is nice and funky, light grassy notes, I feel the basil has probably faded quite a bit because I wouldn't be able to tell this apart from a regular gueuze completely blind (didn't try mind you). Taste is tart very citrusy, not overdone. Palate is light bodied, bone dry with good carbonation. Just keeps you coming back for more.
0.7l Bottle. Appearance: A hazy orange body, with a white head. Aroma: Basil, funky tones, with some grass, wood and a sour fruitish tone, Taste:Tart, sour fruits, a bit of cheese of funk and and herbal and basil tones. Medium carbo, medium body.
Interesting.
Fajny czysty profil lambika z dominacją lekko skórzanych nut. Ta bazylia wyczuwalna delikatnie w tle - wnosi tak jakby lekko waniliowe nuty.
Aromat świeżej bazylii, bardzo wyraźny ale nie przytłaczający i praktycznie nic więcej. Smak także głównie bazyliowy, pojawiają się też nuty delikatnie owocowe, trochę funky. Jest lekkie, orzeźwiające, świeże i mimo wysokiej kwaśności bardzo pijalne. Ciekawe i fajne połączenie.
