Fruit Lambic 7.7 º

Mikkeller

Mikkeller Spontangreenapple is a vibrant Fruit Lambic that captures the sharp, zesty essence of green apples against a backdrop of complex spontaneous fermentation. The aroma leads with a bracing lactic tartness and characteristic barnyard funk—reminiscent of wet hay and aged leather—intertwined with the bright, skin-on snap of fresh fruit. Aging in oak barrels introduces subtle tannins and a whisper of vanilla that rounds out the aggressive acidity. On the palate, a crisp, cider-like tartness dominates, supported by a rustic grain bill and a bone-dry finish. This is a puckering, refreshing, and deeply layered expression of wild brewing.

Appearance. Pale gold with a faint, luminous greenish tint. A white, mousse-like head forms with moderate retention, leaving light lacing. Clarity is mostly clear with a very slight haze from the fruit tannins.

Aroma. High intensity of sharp green apple skins and fermented cider. Strong Brettanomyces character provides horse blanket, earthy funk, and leather notes. Moderate lactic acidity and a subtle, woody oak presence. Low bready wheat malt in the background.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, puckering lactic sourness. Dominant fermented green apple flavor that is tart rather than sweet. Complex spontaneous character features hay and barnyard funk. Bitterness is nearly absent. The finish is bone-dry and lingering with a vinous, acidic snap and light oak-derived tannins.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation that provides a scrubbing sensation on the tongue. Significant tart, puckering quality without being overly astringent. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
