Mikkeller Spontanredcurrant

On this September eve we're enjoying the last of our Danish spoils, a red currant lambic from Mikkeller.



Claudia: Clean, sour beginnings. The color of a brass doorknob. Malty finish, yet nothing overbearing. Manages to be light yet full-bodied at the same time. An understated bitterness is the end product of a delightful platter of sour stuff. I think this is a really good beer, but it's too sour to drink successively. It's too pungent of an experience -- you can't really mellow out with it. 8/10


Grayson: It's ripe and juicy. What is a red currant? Is it like a cranberry? Because I'm being punched with something like cranberry juice. The flavor spreads out in my mouth and leaves me with a long stretch of  cranberry bitterness. I like this one but it's not quite as complex as the other one we had in this series, Spontancassis. 8/10
