Nordlund's Field Blend
Mikkeller ApS

Copenhagen 8/6 2020. 37,5 cl bottle from Mikeller web-shop. Blend #2. Lighter green label with a drawing of the brewery.

Pours murky burgundy with a small bubbly white head. Disappears fairly fast leaving behind a dark, red wine-like substance. No lacing.

Aroma is intense, vinous and sour. Light sweet berry-like sweetness, dry vinous odor and sour, unripe grapes. Hints of vinegar and funk.

Light carbonation. Thin, oily, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is intense with a light sweetness followed by a strong, vinous sourness. Aftertaste is sour and lingers for a while. Finish is dry.

Nice flavored sour beer with a strong, dry, tart sourness but not without a light redeeming sweetness.

Pours a dark red with a little hint of pink foam.

Smell is tart and vinous with notes of oak and red grapes.

Taste is tart with a bit of bitterness mixed in. Dry and vinous with notes of oak, grapes, blood orange, white wine and a hint of perfume. Nice acidity and plenty of complexity.

Mouthfeel is medium, dry and brightly carbonated.

Overall, a very nice and complex sour.

Baghaven, 70 DKK ($11) for a tiny pour.

Pretty good, nice color from grapes and a ring of head. Nose is pretty inviting, but a touch of THP mixes with grapes and light oak in the palatte. Good, not great.

Sample at Mikkeller Beer Celebration Copenhagen 2018, Gold Session. Dark pink color. Aroma is fruity and woody with some wine gum notes. Taste is tart, fruity and rustic with woody barrel bitterness.
