Nelson Sauvignon is a New Year beer it is fermented with ale yeast, brettanomyces and enzymes. Then it has been aged three months in Austrian white wine casks. Very dry, very vinous and very delicious.

Brygget af basismalt og under mæskníngen og gæringen tilsat enzymer for at opnå en så høj forgærbarhed som overhovedet muligt. Til både bitter-, smags- og aromahumle er brugt den New Zealandske humlesort ‘Nelson Sauvin’ som er opkaldt efter sine druekarakterer, der bringer minder til den New Zealandske hvidvinsdrue Sauvignon Blanc. Af gær er benyttet både champagnegær og brettanomyces og pga. enzymerne er øllen gæret meget langt ned og dermed er slutresultatet en meget tør øl. Efter endt gæring har øllen ligget 5 måneder på hvidvinsfade fra Østrigske Weingut Kollwentz og opnået yderligere karakter.

On tap at Mikkeller at Morebeer. Pours murky dull gold with a white head. Tons of bandaids on the nose. Flavour is completely fucked with phenols, some citrus peels. This is an abomination.

Draught at vandaag restaurant. Poured dark, a nice delicate hop that wasn’t overpowering.

Tap. Funky aroma and taste, wooden barrel notes, white vine, tanines, light to medium sour. Medium to full body, funky woody sour dry finish. Good.

(Bottle, vintage 2009) Pale amber colour, almost flat, with brief foamy white head. Fruity, vinous nose with notes of citrus peel, apricots, gooseberries, stable, barnyard, hay, elderflower, white wine and oak. Fruity, vinous taste with lemon peel, bread, white wine, apricots, stable, hay, red-currant, oak wood and a dry and vinous finish with a slight tartness. Low bitterness. Medium body, dry. Elegant and harmonious, really tasty. Great beer.

Bottle. Pours hazy orange with a thick white head. Aromas lots of fruit, apricots, mango, mandarin, orange, citrus, vinous notes, brett, some woody dry notes, some spices. Taste is as the node, lots of fruit, orange, citrus, unripe apricots, mango, mandarin, some spices, light hops. Reminds me of a bretty saison. In a perfect way.

Bottle at Cask. Amber colour, big frothy bubbly off-white head. Aroma is lovely, white wine, funkiness, fruity, brett. Taste is predominantly tropical fruits, though initially gueuze like, and quite sharp. Finish is nice and subdued, Long flat, slightly creamy, nice and fruity, orange and pineapple. Further down the bottle, much more fruity, mango, pineapple. Really nice. Nice and spritzy, but soft in the mouth. Have been waiting to drink this again for a long time and it is still great. --- Beer merged from original tick of Nelson Sauvignon on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 10 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 9.
