Description
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.

Tap at cph airport tasted may 2026
Cloudy dark yellow no head
Aroma is lambic level sour with a citrussy tart note on top. Hints crazy sour
Aroma has yeast and fruit notes, perhaps apricot or peaches but subtle
Flavor is wild wild sour, earthy, little bit like it's oxidized, quite clean and very extreme. One of the more sour beers I ever tasted. This is a sipper I think.

Hazy orange colour, small white head. Aroma is tartness, some mild Riesling with a bit of fruity tones too. Quite pleasant. Flavour is nectarines, some mandarin, grapes, mild wood and some slight tartish tones. Pleasant.

(Draft at Mikkeller at Morebeer, Amsterdam, 27 Feb 2026) Dark red colour with brief, off-white head. Fruity nose with red berries, grapes, barnyard and red wine. Fruity, tart taste with notes of red wine, oak wood, red fruit, grapes, barnyard and funky yeast. No bitterness. Almost full body, dry. Tasty, with a generous acidity and a good grape/red wine character. Very nice.
