Bottle shared with Anker, It pours hazy dark red with a pink creamy head. The aroma is dusty hops, sweet raspberries, citrus, tart and acid. The flavour is tart raspberries, acid, dust, wood and dirt. Long citric tart acidic finish.

Bottle at ACBF 2011. Very nice red bright color. Aroma is very intense raspberry. Flavor is sour and very fruity. Natural raspberry flavor. Amazing brew.

Bouteille @ ACBF 2011. Une bière d’exception où là encore Mikkeller surprend dans un style qui rivalise les grands noms du style belge. Couleur rougeâtre / rubis avec une mousse très fine blanche; Le nez est très frais et rempli de framboise tout en gardant une présence du chêne qui ne prend pas vraiment le dessus et laisse assez de place à la framboise pour se faire présente. En bouche, c’est tout simplement une merveille. Reste dans le style tout en ayant une bonne dose de framboises qui ajoutent un peu de leur acidité. Cela se mélange parfaitement avec le fût de chêne. Effervescence est moyenne.

Slightly hazy ruby red with a big pale pink head. The aroma has lots of fresh, sweet raspberry, some funk and grass. Dry and tart raspberry flavour with a little bit of fruity sweetness. Grassy touch of hops. Much more complex than the kriek

Bottle at Cask Pub and Kitchen, shared with madmitch76, Mes and Leighton. Pours a crazy bright red colour with no real sign of a head. The nose is sharp raspberry, yeasty, farmyard and subtle mint. The taste is sour red berries (raspberry and redcurrant), granny smith apples, some hay and grass, leading to a long, dry, lip-smacking tart finish.

Bottle, bought @ LIVA, Kolding.
Pours hazy pale red with a nice, staying, creamy, pink head. Good lacings. Aroma is mildly fruity sweet, light raspberries, some slight funky fruity tartness. Highish carbonation, dry and a bit creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is tart, pleasantly fruity, lots of fresh raspberries. Elegant tartness. Much better than the spontankriek.

Bottle shared with Mes&Sim, Leighton and Scopey at the CP&K. Cheers! Hazy red beer, no real head. Light and dry palate. Sour raspberries on the nose. Very tart beer but we are not in lemon-acid territory. A little raspberry flavour in there amongst the tongue tingling tartness. Finishes dry and crisp. Not bad - just the right side of being too sour.

A Mes rate (about time no?) at the Cask thanks to Scopey.
An utterly glorious candy apple red color that could only be described as a lady in red... Not the song. You guys can’t see what I have in front of me. Oh yeah, anyway. Beer. This is a beauty. Anyone who knows me is well aware of how much I love the Spontanale. For a while I’ve been wanting a fruity version. Now I have one in front of me. Gloriously tart and effortlessly assertive. Big zing of madness fully side to side on the palate. Clean as hell and a wonderful mouth refresher inbetween a Cognac Black and a Bourbon Big Worst. Superb tarty finish. It’s no secret, Mikkel makes some bloody excellent sour beer.

38cl, new exclusive Danish brew Anno 2011, with raspberries, thx to Mikael & Ronny!, complex sour fruit brew, balanced, cloudy, nearly no head, good brew, yet very expensive!

Nose is yeast, barn yard, quite heavy berries, great balanced feel, carb is lively, taste is dry hops, lots of fruits, amazing balance of dry and fresh notes
