Mikkeller Baghaven Pántáo 2020
Mikkeller Baghaven is an exploration of spontaneous fermentation influenced by local terroir, crafting barrel-aged Danish Wild Ales and Rustic Shipyard Ales with native microflora on the Copenhagen harbor front. Baghaven is home to twelve large oak foeders, ranging in size from 3000 to 7000 liters, and over fifty 225-liter California Chardonnay barrels.
Danish Wild Ale with White Saturn Peaches aged in Wild Ale Barrels for 18-36 months. Pántáo 2020 is our beloved Danish Wild Ale with White Saturn Peaches. Due to the incredible 2020 harvest of white Saturn peaches, Pántáo 2020 returns back to a similar flavor and acid profile found in Blend 1 (2018). Pántáo 2020 is bursting with fresh white peach flavor, with a balanced acidity that brings a unique freshness that can be incredibly challenging to capture in a beer. For maceration we chose 1-2 year old Danish Wild Ale barrels, with an average age of just over 18 months. The peaches then macerated (with stones) in the beer for 6 weeks. After maceration, we added a bit of 3 year old Danish Wild Ale to round out the complexity, bringing an incredible amount of character that can only be balanced out by over 700 grams of fresh, succulent white Saturn peaches per liter of beer.
