My rating: 1
My beeradvocate.com rating: 2.55
My ratebeer.com rating: 2.4

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 20th April 2017. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A murky orange colour with a two finger off white head that had pretty good retention and left good lacing.
Aroma: Raspberries with a little dust.
Taste: Raspberries upfront but only for a second. There’s maybe some cream and vanilla mixed with some not so nice butter and a weird chemical like finish.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: I don’t know, something went wrong here. Aromas were fine, if a little dusty, but taste is where it all went wrong.

My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.77
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.7

Intro: A 330ml bottle with a best before date of 7th April 2017. Poured into a Mikkeller pint glass.
Appearance: A slightly hazy golden orange colour with a two finger foamy white head that had good retention and nice curtain lacing.
Aroma: Juicy mango, orange and mandarin with only a touch of yuzu.
Taste: Yuzu finally comes out in the taste along with mandarin, orange and a hint of bready toasty malt.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: It’s pretty simple, but still very easy to drink, and even better on a hot summer day.

Mikkeller Spontanlemon

Leave a comment

Brewery: Mikkeller ApS
Country: Denmark
ABV: 7.7%
Style: Belgian Lambic (Fruit)
Other Notes: Brewed by Mikkeller at De Proef Brouwerij

Brewer Description: (from Mikkeller webshop) In the spontan series we present Spontanlemon – this time, forming an alliance with Lemon that were generously added underway the brewing process, creating a truly unique, distinct and very sour beer.

My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.76
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.5

Intro: On tap at Koelschip, Copenhagen, into a Mikkeller Spontan mini gueuze type glass.
Appearance: It was a clear copper colour with a half finger off white head that dissipated fairly quickly, leaving sparse lacing.
Aroma: Lemon, tart, sour, wood, oak with very light funk.
Taste: Lots of lemon. Lemon and carbonated water, sourness, some light oak and funk.
Mouthfeel: Medium to light bodied with high carbonation.
Overall: This was ok, but not one of the better beers in the Spontan series.
