Label Text (U.S. Version, batch 2):
Lindemans SpontanBasil is a unique collaboration between Lindemans and Mikkeller. Breaking the mold among existing beer styles, the brewers'combined efforts resulted in this old gueuze with a twist: a blend f one- to two-year old Lambic fermented on oak with the addition of fresh basil. Bottle-conditioned, SpontanBasil has a golden color and combines the sourness of lambic with the aromas and flavors of fresh basil. It's the ideal aperitif, and is also perfect for food pairing.
Bottled July 2015; best before end of 2025. Contains: Water, barley malt, wheat, basil, hops, wild yeast.
