Mikkeller SpontanGooseberry

Mikkeller (Denmark) released a series of spontaneously fermented beers in 2012, each featuring a different fruit addition. 2013 should see a new round of those funky beers. The base beer for SpontanGooseberry is a lambic. Mikkeller threw in gooseberries for this addition.

The gooseberry is native to Europe, grows on a bush, and basically tastes like a sour grape. We’re pretty sure you can expect a base SpontanAle without fruit additions for your comparison.

Style: Lambic (w/ Gooseberries. Oak Aged)
Availability: 11.2oz bottles
Arrival: TBA (2013)
