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.

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.

75cl Fles, dank Harmen! Mistig gouden kleur, witte kraag. Flink zuur, funky, hint van de abrikozen, licht zoetje wat nodig is tegen het zure, flink Lambic-achtig. Lichte body. Iets te zuur voor mij maar wel mooi spul.
