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.

Sample (thanks fonefan!). Rubyish black colour, small off-white head. Aroma is cherries, vanilla, some aloe vera and lavendel and some medicinal tones. Flavour is oak, some kebab sauce spiciness with cherries and vanilla tones. Very strange brew, probably the oakiness doing some funny stuff to it.

75 cl bottle, 5.2 % abv. Cork says 2021. Poured into a Tulip. Hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Tart fruity aroma with lemons, dry wooden notes, tannin, a hint of black pepper, and some vinegar. The taste is sour. Medium body, lively carbonation. Dry, tart fruity finish with lingering lemons and very dry white wine. Not for the faint hearted, yet with a rewarding complexity.

75 cl bottle. Hazy golden colour with a big, bubbly white head. Fruity aroma with grapefruits, apricot, salty notes, a dry grassy bitterness from the tequila barrels. The taste is light sour. Medium body. Dry, tart fruity finish with lingering salty hints. Lovely, intense.

Fruity, tart taste with apricots, peaches, oak wood, lemon and vinegar. No bitterness. Medium body, dry. Quite tart and funky with a woody/vinegar acidity and a rich apricot character. Very nice.

Bottle, 0.75l, shared with Sima, David, Pier @ nonna Rosa. Aroma is yeasty, vinous, stone fruity and funky. Pours dirty orange color with thick creamy off-white head and good lacing. Taste starts refreshing tart vinous and citrusy with passion fruit note, following is yeasty, floral, stone fruity and funky with smooth mouthfeel. Medium body, slick texture and lively carbonation in palate. Working class hero…

Lovely sour, fruited and properly soured. A little on the natural chewy fruit from the bush side. Very good. Mikkeller ams friend bottle
