Mikkeller SpontanDryHop Simcoe Sour / Wild Ale at 5.5% ABV (C$7.90 at Sherbrooke Liquor, 330 ml, best before 2-Mar-2021, acquired 25-Apr-2018, reviewed 23-May-2018)
Appearance: slightly hazy medium gold with a short, short-lived fizzy white head, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: mild funk, citrus, light tropical fruit, wheat, grainy pale malt. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate tart, low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry tart lightly funky finish. (4/5)
Not all that interesting, especially for a Mikkeller: there’s a fair bit of “Spontan”, perhaps, but I can’t claim to be getting a great deal of “DryHop”. On the up side, there’s none of the cattiness that sometimes comes with Simcoe hops. (14/20)
