That lambic is a versatile beer needs no further explanation. We have yet to discover where its limits lie. And new boundaries is something that the ‘gipsy brewery’ Mikkeller likes to go searching for. And so, one day they knock on the door of Brewery Lindemans. The result? SpontanBasil. An authentic old gueuze beer with fresh basil and a surprisingly fresh taste.
Fresh whole basil leaves are added to a batch of one-to-two year old lambic that has
been aged on oak. The beautiful flavor and aroma of fresh basil marry perfectly with the sour, tart flavors of
lambic. After racking and filling bottles, SpontanBasil gains natural, soft carbonation via bottle-conditiong: the
yeast produces CO2 in the corked bottle.
