Mikkeller Acid Trip BA White Wine
Fruit Lambic 8.3 º
This sophisticated Wild Specialty Beer showcases a complex marriage of sharp acidity and vinous elegance. Pouring a luminous straw hue, it offers an intense bouquet of tart white grapes, lemon zest, and a distinctive Brettanomyces funk reminiscent of wet hay and dusty cellar. The influence of white wine barrels introduces subtle oak tannins and a mineral-driven dry finish that complements the 8.3% ABV. On the palate, a bright lactic sourness is balanced by the delicate, fruity esters of fermented grapes and a faint, cracker-like malt backbone. Mikkeller has crafted a profile that delivers a crisp, lingering aftertaste of stone fruit and vanilla.
Appearance. Pale gold to straw (4-6 SRM). Clarity is slightly hazy with a fine, white head that dissipates quickly into a thin ring, leaving minimal lacing due to high acidity and alcohol content.
Aroma. High intensity. Sharp lactic tartness and citric lemon notes lead, followed by prominent white grape skin, gooseberry, and a complex wild yeast profile of earthy funk and mild spice. White wine barrel aging contributes subtle vanilla and dry oak notes.
Taste. Immediate, bright lactic acidity dominates the initial impression. Flavors of under-ripe white grapes and green apple meld with a rustic, funky fermentation character. Hop bitterness is negligible, as the balance is firmly acidic. The finish is bone-dry and vinous, with lingering notes of oak tannin and white pepper.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, prickly carbonation that enhances the sharp acidity. A noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth is present. A slight tannic astringency from the grape skins and barrel aging provides a drying structure to the palate.
