The creativity of the Danish craft brewers, this one, like Mikkeller, operating for a significant part at Belgium’s Proef, has no boundaries: this one is presented as a ’table beer’, but refermented with Brettanomyces and dry-hopped with Mosaic: the old-fashioned and usually very plain and simple table beer style getting the craft beer treatment, let’s say. Thick and frothy, tighly ’membranous’ lacing, egg-white, stable head on top of a misty, deep and pure ’old gold’ coloured beer with warmer peachy hue. Aroma of stale lime juice, ripe gooseberry, red apple peel, white bread, damp hay, green banana, slight hints of mandarin, goat cheese, minerals, peach. Crisp, quite lively onset, sharply carbonated, numbing a bit and distracting from the actual flavor, which contains sweetish touches of peach, pear and pineapple surrounded by a soft, but somewhat more pronounced gooseberry juice sourishness; minerally effects from the strong carbonation continue over the middle, still numbing the tongue, but at the same time providing some ’body’ to a low ABV content (making it a bit less watery than expected), with a cereally, grainy flavor, softened a little bit with a bready touch especially towards the end, where the Brett yields some hayish, vaguely sweaty and fermenting fruit peel-like aspects. Ends dry and hop bitter, a tad tonic water-like and peppery, floral and a bit citrusy with a grapefruit- and lime-like character. Juicy, spicy hop bitter and grainy tail. The hops (even if it is Mosaic) provide more spicy bitterness here - albeit very pleasantly so - than lush citrus aromas and the Brett is still young and restrained, but I like the idea and given some time, the Brett effects will become more obvious so this may be unique for a ’table beer’ in that it is probably at its best after months of cellaring. If you consider this to be a table beer, that is: the whole essence of table beers, regardless of style and colour, is that they are intended as being merely functional, without so much taste as to overpower the taste of the food they have to accompany - and the elderly audience still using table beer usually does not spice up their food a whole lot, at least not here in Western Europe. In that functional sense alone, this would be of no use as a table beer, as the hop bitterness and, later on, the Brett funkiness would probably completely overwhelm the taste of, say, a bland cooked potato, or indeed a breakfast with bread and butter, to which the name ironically refers. This is in fact closer to a session IPA, though less aromatically hoppy; consider this an elegant summer quencher of which you can drink a whole lot without disastrous consequences and you will probably be better off than when you regard it as a table beer in the strict, traditional, functional sense of the word. That being said: for a beer below 4% ABV, this is certainly packed with flavor and very agreeable to pour down.
