COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Editor’s note: 30 kegs of 30 liters produced for Mikkeller Bar in Copenhagen. Only available at this location (has also been available at Brasserie 4:20 in Rome).

Frank Boon writes: This is quite exeptional, 2 years old Lambic from a 112 HL shaved Calvados cask, foeder # 65, second fill. The Lambic has 7,21% Vol alcohol and has a nice oak/calvados character with a nice hint of gentian. It has a great drinkability. We will blend it in our regular Geuze by the end of the month (September 2010).

Keg @ Mikkeller & Friends. The pour’s medium amber with a small head. The nose is tart acetic funk. Notes of vinegar, pennies, balsamic. The taste is very sharp and acetic. Tangy citrus fruits, hints of vinegar, oak wood. Light body, very soft on the palate. Overall, pretty nice, if one-dimensional.

On tap at Mikkeller & Friends, pours a cloudy orange with a small off-white head. Aroma of tart light fruits, wheat, and low barnyard funky notes. Flavour of sour fruits, oak barrels, and barnyard funk. Very tart and funky, with a touch of acidity and with a wheaty tart finish. Complex and so easily drinkable. Great stuff.
