Who's been drinking this

Tasted very interesting and fresh at first, but the basil flavor quickly overstays its welcome and creates a really unpleasant bitter taste.
So strange. Tropical fragrance, like dried papaya or pineapple, leading into a more caramel, bitter body. Lactic, smooth, but astringent buzz on the tongue, closing with a kind of dishwater taste that probably comes from the Thai Basil. Overall, it seemed like a decent idea that needed a few more iterations to get right, but it's hard not to respect the audacity.
Fresh and malty, with just a touch of bitterness up front and a little banana and orange zest in the end.
