Lindemans / Mikkeller Spontanbasil is a sour ale brewed with basil, as a collaboration between Belgian lambic brewery Lindemans and Danish craft brewery, Mikkeller. When two brewing heavyweights such as Lindemans and Mikkeller get together, the result is going to be hotly anticipated, and Spontanbasil does not disappoint. 1-2 year aged gueuze is fermented with basil, to give a pleasantly sour, herbaceous brew.
Pouring a bright yellow colour, Lindemans / Mikkeller Spontanbasil offers up curious aromas of basil and barnyard funk. The flavour of basil mingles with lemongrass, and a tart smack from the gueuze. Buy Lindemans / Mikkeller Spontanbasil to experience a unique collaboration brew with a zesty, herbal flavour.

Wow – the basil lurks furtively in the background in this brew but you can tell it’s there on the aftertaste. A really good brew, which would be fabulous on a warm summer evening. Very enjoyable.
