Our most traditional spin on a classic Belgian farmhouse style beer, with a Rustic Danish Shipyard Ale twist. A relative of our Havnesæson, Bagsæson starts off as a very traditional "saison" style base, and is then open fermented in our wooden conicals with our unique and ever evolving local microflora to bring that true Rustic Danish Shipyard Ale character.⁠⁠ Aged in European oak foeders which have only held our beer and no previous wine/spirit to bring a light and gentle oak quality that is balanced by a mix of old and new world hops.⁠⁠ Low in acidity and high in drinkability was the goal of Bagsæson, much like the spicy farmhouse style beers of Belgium it is modelled after.

Copenhagen 3/9 2023. 75 cl corked bottle from Kvickly, Nørrebrogade, Kbh. N. As "Mikkeller Baghaven Bagsæson". Baghaven's usual design with drawing of the brewing facility in a light brown version.

Pours unclear golden yellow with a big white head. Stable. Settles as thin layer of foam stretching to cover the surface the beer. Clinging to the sides the glass. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a light sweet fruity odor soon overpowered by a tart, acerbic scent of unripe berries. Apricot and peach. Lemon and tart gooseberries. Oak. Vinegar.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, fizzy, lively and tingling texture.

Flavor is fairly intense with a light sweetness followed by a strong tart sourness. Aftertastes is sour. Lingers for a while. Finish is tart and dry.

Fine dry brew with a tart, wild touch.
