About
Yet another game-changer in the history of Mikkeller, the opening of Baghaven marked the moment when – finally – spontaneously fermented sour beer was made using local terroir. Importing skilled American brewer Ehren Schmidt to head up operations at Baghaven helped establish the foundation for a location that would fuse tradition with cutting-edge innovation.

Bottle. Clear deep golden color with white head. Aroma is big feet, cellar, lowkey smoke, peach. Taste is solid wood, caramel, medium stinky feet/parmigiano, low carbonation, oily mouthfeel. Quite nice, but some of my friends say it's too much parmigiano.

Stable, medium snowwhite head over cold hazed orange-golden beer. Apricots and lactic acid, farmyard odours, lime, lemon, verbena. Sour apricot, lemon notes, some citruspeel, rhubarb, gooseberry. Fruitstones, tasting very natural. Acidburn and -thinning, medium carbonation. Seriously sour, light body but with some punch! Txs to KUL

0,75l from bottle at home. Vintage 2021. deep red color, tiny fast disappearing head. smells funky, earthy, berry notes, grapes, tannins. nice to very nice smell, rather sulphuric. full body, bubbly carbonation. Tastes sulphur, tannins, grapes, berry notes, some pepper, funky. Finishes lightly dry and lightly sour with notes of sulphur, tannins and pepper. nice one, very sulphuric though, also rather bubbly, which is not an issue for me.

Sample, thanks oh6gdx! Hazy orange colour, small head. Tart, woody nose with evident Riesling grapes. Tart with medium body and rounded mouthfeel. Lightly peppery with elegant osky white wine, mild funk. Mildly bitter finish. Quite complex and really elegant.

Ochre beer with a faint pink sheen, head only alive for scant seconds. End of bottle solid deposit. Vinous nose, pink grapes, bit raspberry, faraway beetroot, purple gooseberry. Lemony, unripe raspberry, lime and of course vinous. Despite the serious acidity the overall impression is very balanced. Light acidburn and -thinning. Bit slick, adequate carbonation. There's many a Belgian brewery that would love to do this (especially that balance...), but maybe that would also turn into financial disaster. Snik.
