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 @ Mikkeller Paris. Pours a misty gold, thin white sheet atop. Aroma brings soft apricot and a wild air. First sip brings a sharp acidic hit which lingers before the underlying apricot notes eventually get a look-in, settling in on the finish as the bretty acidicity subsides. A bit heavy handed and unbalanced, but a sour-head will keel to its charm.
